minus-squaregunpachi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 year agoI 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
minus-squareM-Reimer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·1 year agoI have a few kbin communities subscribed from Lemmy and interaction works fine. If you don’t use the webinterface a lot, it probably doesn’t matter which one of the two you are using.
minus-squareJack.@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoLemmy had a better backend when I tried kbin the last time. And lemmy has just gotten better since then.
minus-squareGoodtoknow@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoI 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
