I’m not sure if Lemmy, kbin, or something else will work out to be the community favorite, so I’m trying out both and would encourage others to do the same.
Normally, you can participate in a Lemmy community from kbin and the other way around, but kbin.social has been dealing with a DDoS attack or some such, and its mitigation measures are making that unreliable at the moment.
It seems like Lemmy is winning so far, but that’s partly because the biggest kbin server is dealing with a DDoS attack in combination with an influx of users.
Under normal circumstances, it’s actually possible to participate in both communities with just one account, but right now kbin.social is not working correctly due to the DDoS defenses it has been forced to put up.
