It looks like kbin.social is in the final stages of migrating their site, and merging a whole bunch of improvements. Having their ~5k users federating with us again will be nice
Hi from kbin!
Hi kbin! Happy to see y’all joining us.
That’s great, it’s been a bit odd not being able to have access to half the fediverse.
@Barbarian so that’s why I couldn’t follow anything there.
Indeed, it will be interesting to see what will happen.
kbin seems rather promising.
Haven’t really played around with it much since the federation part wasn’t working. Anyone been using it more and care to chime in with their experiences compared to Lemmy?

They’re called toots in Mastodon and yeah, I’m not really a fan either. Which is why I’m on the Lemmy side.
I also use Mastodon, but it’s just a very different format to posts on Lemmy.
The only reason federation wasn’t working was because they had to turn on CloudFlare protection just to keep the site from crashing. That interfered with federation. Assuming they’re able to upgrade enough to handle the traffic, they’ll federate as easily as lemmy does.
So KBin isn’t Lemmy? But it federated with Lemmy? Also, I see Mastodon federated with Lemmy, but what’s the point of that?
Mastodon users who want to stay on mastodon can subscribe to communities on lemmy and see each post as a tweet in mastodon
and by subscribe I mean follow the community which shows up as a user account
It’s just another UI basically. I like Kbin a lot more than Lemmy aesthetically and it was easier to get used coming directly from Reddit. Also early on there was only one instance (there’s like 3-5 now? I’m on Kbin.run) so it was a lot easier for people who didn’t understand how it works to use.
Kbin and lemmy are compatible but different projects
I’m considering migrating when that happens, as then I have no need for Mastodon, I can just have everything on one site…
Same. I’m trying to decide what I like more.
Part of me thinks I’d prefer to have two seperate accounts - one here, one on Mastodon.
The thing is, I just really prefer the tree view of Lemmy/Kbin…
