I feel good on kbin
We feel good thar you’re here :)
Same. I’ve been on Reddit for almost 12 years and for so long now, every time I post or comment I go through a several-minute-long phase of “Ugh no one needs to hear from my stupid arse on this topic” and “Jesus Christ what a stupid ass comment…” Twitter I’ve been on years also but I barely use because it was going down the shitter long before Space Karen got his hands on it.
Been here in the Fediverse on Mastodon and Kbin for a few weeks now and it’s like going from gas station sushi that may be fresh that day to a high end sushi shop with a great omakase. Reddit still has some subs that, in my own realm of interests, haven’t picked up yet here in the Fediverse, but even just over the last 3 weeks the changes and increase in content has been very noticeable.
What I look forward to the most is when different interest groups start federating their own instances, like startrek.website is doing already. It takes time for these communities to grow, but I’m sure that in time decentralization is going to do wonders for them. :)
Same here! Been here since the blackout started, and it’s been a fantastic community.
Happy to see it!! I’m enjoying my new home, and welcome others to do the same
Same here, lurked for a couple of days before making an account. Seems like a decent place to hang while doomscroll on the toilet.

I feel this comment.
I tried a few different places, but kbin just felt ‘right’ to me. Happy to be here with you all!
This my instance, there are many like it but this one is mine
I really like kbins layout/structure, it’s like a mix of reddit and twitter and with some optimization could really be something special.
And it feels good to be one of them!

kbin definitely feels more… idk polished? compared to Lemmy. Lemmy feels like a proof of concept, while kbin feels like effort was actually put into it’s UI. I bounce between both, but I certainly prefer kbin.
Squabbles feels even more polished.
@ripcord Squabbles is very slick. I think it does a great job of meeting its mission statement of being a cross between reddit and twitter. I think if it can scale well (it’s still primarily a one-person effort I believe) it has a shot at being a serious reddit/twitter competitor. And its user interface feels modern, whereas both lemmy and kbin feel like they’re a generation behind in terms of UX. (I know many ex-redditors prefer the old.reddit.com look & feel by the way, which is probably why they’d more likely to be drawn to the current crop of threadiverse sites, but the casual user is more likely to be drawn to something like squabbles.)
