i didnt look too deep into it, i just looked at both, and thought Kbins UI was nicer
The first time I went to make a Lemmy account, I found the "join lemmy" page and ended up confused and just decided to deal with it later. I then heard that the founders of lemmy were "genocide deniers" and "tankies" and whatever, then the same day I heard that reddit had just banned a community that existed to help people move to kbin.
So I immediately went to kbin, clicked "sign in with Google," and it was that easy.
I know I already posted it in the other thread, but here's another link to the list of evidence:

Honestly it was pretty arbitrary, I happened to pick Kbin over Lemmy on the day, and figured I might change my mind and move to Lemmy if I didn't like it. I feel like I've made the right choice though, I like it here!
I like the layout better all there really is to it.

I feel like the UI for Kbin is cleaner, though not without its problems. And I can access Lemmy communities from Kbin as well (this works a lot better than I expected it would), so I'm not really missing out if I choose it over Lemmy.
I'm also giving an answer to the other thread on Lemmy, since I think there are good reasons to use that one as well. They're both solid, and I'm using both regularly--often viewing posts from one service on the other. For me, it's "yes AND," not "no BUT."
Because no obvious Tankies.
