HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray (kbin.social)

Imma start by prefacing that I like kbin way better so far.

But do you guys think they will continue to coexist long term or are we looking at an HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray scenario where only one will remain?

Just seems like they don’t play very nice. My lemmy community I created days ago still isn’t federating here. Furthermore it seems like kbin to lemmy federation is much slower and buggier than lemmy to lemmy and kbin to kbin federation.

Hard to sort by new bc sometimes lemmy posts are already off the first page by the time they federate. Sometimes stuff doesn’t federate at all. I’m almost to the point I feel like I need to have an account on each for browsing.

For the record I bought a HD-DVD player.

kbin is like a month old and has been slammed very recently by a large number of new signups. I think they were migrating to new servers over the past week and likely more improvements are on the way.

My favorite part of this is @ernest went to bed one night with his project safely there for friends and himself, and then bam! Tens of thousands signing up in no time. I’m so happy people with knowledge are helping him and I happily donated to the coffee fund.

When they figure out how they want donations to go, I’ll be a recurring donor.

I'm only on disability, so my funds are pretty limited, but I've donated about $20 to his coffee fund.

Oh I get it, and I wasn't even blaming kbin, for all we know the issue is on lemmy's side, they have an open github issue for non-lemmy federation. I'm just saying the ecosystem as is relies on two separately developed platforms maintaining interoperability with each other.
