You should give kbin.social a shot. It works better than lemmy currently. I made an account on lemmy.world and kbin.social and end up spending my time on kbin. Even on mobile with no app, I find the user experience better. I am sure it will get better for all instances with time.
kbin isn't bad, but it's been plagued with 500 errors - probably due to the massive influx of new users/instances.
Someone on the Discord told me KBin gained 30000 users in the last 24 hours.
Over the past few days, I've had waves where kbin.social gets really hammered, but then it performs fine after that. Someone suggested that it might be when users here in the US have their peak activity times, that it's getting hit much harder then.
Makes sense that kbin works better as kbin actually let me register I had trouble even trying to register on 3 different instances before someone recommended kbin because, and I quote, "it just works."
Kbin definitely has the better front page algorithms atm.
Kbin is lacking the filtering for NSFW content though and there's a lot of sketch making it into the frontpage on kbin is very noticeable so for now I have an account here and on a Lemmy instance and I use Lemmy more. Kbin is for when I can be more careful with my scrolling.
There is a box you can check or uncheck. It comes checked by default and you have to actively undo it in order to get NSFW. You dirty dog
Isn't there a setting in your profile to block NSFW? Or is not working fully?
Take this with a grain of salt, but I think the issue is that some content isn't tagged as NSFW, so even if it's from an NSFW community, Kbin won't block it unless it's tagged as such.
I don't think that that's it. I'm on kbin, and at least some of the images that some people were complaining about on kbin were blurred, so there must have been some sort of NSFW indication associated with them.
It works. It's just that not everyone is using the tags correctly.
This is also my fediverse origin story.
Yeah I definitely prefer kbin, and it has an app which is overall pretty good even on my janky ass unihertz phone.
Wait, there's an app?
Not the original commenter, but @hariette is developing an app at the moment. There's an official kbin magazine (/m/Kmoon, or Kmoon@kbin.social)
There's also a Discord server.
I now can't find the link but I don't think its on the play store. But yes there is an app
