I am torn. Lemmy feels slimmer and easier to use with a wider variety of apps. Kbin has an advantage of being an “all-in-one” solution for the Fediverse with a better UI.
That said I use Mastodon for microblogging, so Kbin having that built in only clutters the site in my particular use case. While Kbin has a better UI it’s also more drab in color and harder to navigate. Kbin also has this karma/points system which feels odd. It skews into the negative VERY easily and is displayed on your profile. I prefer Lemmy’s upvote/downvote system but doesn’t have a permanent karma/points system.
I’ve been reading Lemmy is growing much faster than Kbin, but then I hear that “it’s all bots” and not real growth.
Where do you stand on this? Where do you think you’ll find yourself when this all shakes out?
Going to have to say Kbin, considering that every attempt to log in to one of the big Lemmy servers just results in an endlessly spinning circle.
There’s no way for it to tell you if the username is already taken at the moment so that could be an issue. Could also be you need to click an email?
Have you ever been able to login? I had the same issue with Lemmy World and it was because I forgot to verify my email address, it doesn’t tell you the issue you just get an endless spinning circle.
