Started with kbin today. After the first few interactions , it seems to get much better.
Edit: had to scroll down fully to type this comment. Is it just me or is it like this ?

Iirc that's intentional so you are more likely to read what others have written before starting your own comment chain. That might just be Tildes though, there that's explicitly said to be the reason why the commenting box is at the bottom.
Federated authentication. UI on mobile was good enough.
I use both because lemmy.world goes down every day. I also like both very much so I probably won't stick to just 1.
Yeah, I've mad very limited issues with Lemmy.world but would like to see it improve over time. Glad you have found a way around your issues.
I feel like all the reddit neckbeards went to Lemmy. Better vibe over here plus branding + UI.
Yeah looking to see if I can bring the content I've used on here across or if I need to 100% restart from scratch again. I do luckily already have a Kbin account that I've been messing around with but don't want to lose my Communities / Magazines.
One thing that I like about kbin is that it's not trying to be "x, but federated" like lemmy or mastodon for example. It's more exiting to try to make something new! I think it's very apparent how some parts of lemmy are full of redditisms on purpose which I disslike.
That said, I do have a lemmy account that I use for posting about other stuff. There are a tons of website sprouting up as contenders for a space in the new internet landscape and I'm having a lot of fun trying them out without really binding myself to one too tightly
I don't really understand the difference, I think it's a shame that a Reddit replacement gets split into two camps in the Fediverse. At the very least, they should use the exact same data at the back end and interact with each other seamlessly. In either case, this is what you get in an open protocol. Maybe one or the other will win out in the long run.
Well, that's the point of the Fediverse, you don't really have to choose which one will 'last longer' you choose which one suits you. All the Communities / Magazines on Lemmy & Kbin do interact with each other, it just depends on what sort of look, feel, and Instance you prefer. The point of a decentralized system is not to have one centralized point or even software to access it, you can choose what you prefer. Like I've been preferring Kbin over anything else in the Fediverse lately.
