Learned about Lemmy from Reddit but never heard of kbin until recently. That said, I like the name Lemmy a lot more than the name kbin. kbin sounds like a hex editor for KDE, not a Reddit alternative. I love the open source community, but sometimes the names of projects leave much to be desired. Lemmy isn't the perfect name but it's more memorable than kbin.

Rust > PHP

What a difference, we can talk to each other :F

I liked both but ultimately joined Lemmy over kbin because it seems like there's more interest in building mobile apps for Lemmy. (Currently using Jerboa) Also like that my Lemmy instance is based on renewable energy which is nice.

I tried Kbin and its way harder for me somehow searching other federated instanced content on Kbin than on lemmy.

It feels like for Kbin you need to go first to lets say Lemmy.world and then check the list and copy the names of each then search it.

on any lemmy instance i can simply search the things and find stuff of other instances way easier.

also Lemmy is like WAY bigger of user base posts and comments.

Personally using Lemmy as I find the interface, syntax (linking users and communities), and deployment easy to use.

Also I personally want to contribute to Lemmy and learning Rust is a high priority in my personal and work life.

I think lemmy looks nicer visually. I'll probably give kbin a try at some point.

I'm in both, so...

People started talking about the reddit API change and named lemmy as an alternative. So that's the one I checked out. Didn't here of kbin til I was already here.

Started on lemmy. Haven’t gotten annoyed yet and can’t currently be bothered to try yet another new thing.

Lemmy is the first one I heard about, and that's where I made my account. Kbin is also a much newer project, so I'm less confident that it'll be around in the mid-to-long term future than lemmy.world, and I'd rather not have to make a new account.

I just heard about Lemmy first. Maybe later I'll try kbin too.

I have accounts on 3 Lemmy instances and this one on kbin, right now I use kbin a bit more cause it‘s smoother for me, but if Lemmy apps mature faster I might use those more.

I never really got that attached to any of my Reddit accounts either, so that feels natural to me.

I'm in both, but I'm a Reddit refugee looking for a similar experience. 99% of my Reddit's time was through the RIF app and Jeroba looks and feels the same, so currently I only use lemmy.

I wouldn't mind switching over to kbin if it gets better in the future since I can read everything from anywhere.

Idk i just heard of lemmy first

I came to kbin first when reddit shut down the /r/kbinmigration sub. Streisand effect.

Later I learned it was an anti spam feature and not intentional, but the damage was done.

I have accounts on both because I feel like we're going to see a lot of changes over the coming months, and I'm curious to see how the two evolve. I'm mostly using Lemmy right now because I find Kbin's interface a little annoying to use, but they're both being actively updated so that might change soon.

I gotta say, Kbin has such a nicer UI. Lemmy has to step up a notch.

What’s a kbin?

I like both. Currently on kbin because of the All bug on lemmy. My aim is to use both for a longer period.
