Switched to kbin? How is it's front page aggregation? Is it closer to reddit than Lemmy?
Have a look, you don't need to register just to see how it is: https://kbin.social/
Yes it’s much better and sorting seems stable.
I just checked it out. It certainly feels now polished. Do you know what the dev community is like? Do they update and add features frequently?
It is a tight small shop from what I understand. Their github: https://github.com/ernestwisniewski/kbin
Ernest, from what I've seen, has been very receptive and passionate about all the incoming users. They scaled their infrastructure quickly to meet demand and were interacting with users on kbin regarding features they would like to see. I have high hopes.
I'll check that out too... I like the comment UI better in Lemmy, but everything else seems better in Kbin.
AFAIK kbin is way early in development and got slammed by a wave of new users after Rexxit happened.
So the dev’s priority right now is server and platform stability, and it’s already way smoother than it was a couple weeks ago. That being said, there are a ton of features planned and development seems to be going pretty quickly at the moment
The site is very new and is in active development. For now, it's mostly under the hood stuff but the stability of the experience increased quite a bit since I first started a week so they must be doing it right.
I believe the owner @ernest is doing the heavy lifting by himself.
I had exactly the opposite experience, I joined a kbin and a lemmy instance and opened communities in both, definitely found lemmy easier to jump on too, and lemmy for me was more stable by a large chunk , but that might be the instance I am on seems very well run.
Think of it as two types of cheese, both are gorgeous.
