I have been thinking which of the two should i use. If i understand fully i can still browse lemmy instances on kbin. And i can even check out mastodon users on it.
If this is the case, why would anyone choose lemmy instead of kbin? I assume there must be another aspects i don’t know of?
I have been asking myself this same question. I like the general look and feel of kbin better, but have been drifting more toward Lemmy. The interface has been easier to use for some things like checking in on the communities/magazines I’ve subscribed to. I’ve also noticed missing entries on kbin when viewing the same community threads. Not sure what that is.
As a self-hoster, I attempted installs of both. They both had somewhat broken installation guides for Docker installs. Spent a night failing to get kbin running and pivoted and for Lemmy working in a couple of hours. Wish I had some big fancy reason, but kbin was just shortly more of a pain to sort.
