I can’t get into calling subs “magazines”. Communities is much better.
Just call them “clips.” /s Seriously though, the aesthetic of Kbin is its best feature, but the concept behind the threads seems. I dunno. Weird. Lemmy feels janky and basic, like old Reddit. 💗

Just a heads up, https://old.Lemmy.world now exists! (It should feel much better!)
Also, if you used Apollo for Reddit, Voyager (https://vger.app) exists for Lemmy and it feels right at home!
Also for Apollo users, the Memmy app is very close!
There is also Arctic by CreatureSurvive being worked on which looks promising. I just want my Apollo experience again. 😭
Old Lemmy is the best thing I’ve seen in a while. I found it last week, and it’s absolutely cured my Reddit cravings.
There’s also a Voyager frontend hosted on lemmy.world:
Also for Apollo users… wefwef. I added the web app to my Home Screen and it feels like nothings changed.
Wefwef and Voyager are the same app, they renamed it.
*cough* https://mlmym.org *cough*

There are plenty of userstyles and userscripts inspired by old reddit if you don’t want to use mlmym. See [email protected].
shitjustworks seems like one of the few really good instances.

I think these long explainations of instances and federation are really not necessary. It should just say “pick a server and start browsing. You’ll be able to see everything*.”
“*If you really want to get into the weeds, blah blah blah.”
Yes. Anytime someone starts trying to explain the Fediverse to someone signing up I want to put my hand on their face and tell the newbie right this way.
For real. Wanna try Mastodon? Make an account on mastodon.social. Wanna try Lemmy? Make an account on Lemmy.world. Once people buy into the platforms they can migrate to smaller/niche instances if they’d like. Simply things at first, active users will then slowly figure out the rest.
It’s like how there aren’t articles comparing email options. We all just kinda picked an email site and stuck with it until something goes wrong and then pick the next one. No one’s really investing time in debating ones over the others or trying to convert others to Team Hotmail or somethin.
But a negative consequence of that was the centralisation of email providers.
I have not used kbin yet. Is there any feature that really makes it worth using over Lemmy ? I’m curious as I want to try it out sometime.
P.S - I use Lemmy through wefwef
I think the main thing that makes its nice is it federates with both Lemmy and Mastodon under one interface. While Lemmy can post to Mastodon instances and vice versa, it’s not a part of the Interface really, you have to manually copy URLs
It’s buggy though and doesn’t seem to work properly. People have reported not seeing posts from Kbin on Lemmy at all sometimes.
I don’t seem to be able to interact with them at all.
I especially enjoy the x-eyed frowny snoos all over the orange background: perfect touch, and exquisitely appropriate.
