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?
This. I miss the list of things I’m subscribed to that reminds me to check in on some of those communities from time to time.
You can find that in your profile.
Open your profile, and at least in mobile, there’s a menu showing you your active posts, threads….and subscriptions is towards the end.
I use it for the same reason you describe here.
Hope it helps.
You can, but it takes several clicks and a bit of scrolling, and that only gets you to a non-alphabetical list that is inexplicably cut over multiple pages. It’s making it unnecessarily difficult.
On Lemmy, they have a button at the top of the screen titled ‘Subscribed’, and if you click it you get a drop-down with all your subscribed communities alphabetically organised right there.
