I really do like KBin and Lemmy and the fediverse on the whole, but development is still young and the userbase still growing. KBin is still basically early access, and Lemmy is buggy. I spent alot of time in reddit and I’m feeling the pain of trying to ween myself from it. Just wanted to here community perspectives and see how other’s are taking it.
For me, I feel a bit of a sore hollow spot for what reddit used to be and watching it implode is not fun for me.
I don’t mind server hiccups or very slow load times, though that has been the case for both kbin in the past two weeks and huge swaths of reddit’s history.
Although I’m not a programmer, I keep up a little bit with the threads for kbinMeta and other magazines that are direct links to Ernest and his patch notes. Kbin defedded temporarily after the first big migration push from June 12-15. During this time, everyone was also being auto logged out for being inactive for more than 2 minutes at a time, and captcha was a requirement nearly every time you tried logging back in.
I have seen a big uptick in activity on a lot of topical and current events magazines, but my hobby communities don’t exist here. I’ve subscribed to every magazine accessible to me across kbin and Lemmy for knitting and crochet, and I still have yet to see any of those threads on my m/sub > sort by hot page.
