    Could mean 1 of 2 things:

    1. Kbin is so good that even though there is little content and wonky lemmy federation, people still go there.
    2. Lemmy content is so good no matter where you are, you don’t want to miss anything.

    You pick ;)

      Only reason I picked kbin was because of the interface. No offense, but lemmy seems a little janky at the moment. But it doesn’t matter, we’re all here anyway.

      I guess it’s both. Met a lot of kbin people in the past few days, so I went to check how this here looks from there. Kbin interface + Lemmy content seems like the best of both worlds, but the interoperability is pretty broken, sadly.

        The default Lemmy interface is not great but that will change. Already quite a few nicer themes out. It’s early days. :)

        Personally, I’m here for the interface. I tried getting into Lemmy. It was unnecessarily arcane, and unnecessarily arcane things usually don’t prosper in these scenarios.

          I disagree… I prefer Lemmy’s interface over that of kbin, plus it has better mobile app support. I’d say mobile app support is what matters most in the long run if we want more users.

          Maybe I will change my mind once Artemis comes out. But it is nice that they federate with each other.

      Federation is no more wonky than between regular Lemmy instances in my experience. I’ve had issues with both at times.
      It was only for a few days when the Reddit protest started that federation was barely working at all, it’s been mostly fine for quite a while now!
