I feel good on kbin
Same here! Been here since the blackout started, and it’s been a fantastic community.
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.
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
My instance is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
Really like it here. Love the interface and lots of good posts already!
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.)
I really like kbins layout/structure, it’s like a mix of reddit and twitter and with some optimization could really be something special.
Kbin has been great so far, massive props to the developers who are keeping this place running under a crushing influx of new people.
reddit has 55+ million daily active users, just some food for thought
Quality over quantity. Glad to be here!
It’s also been around for like 18 years… It’s legally an adult.
Kbin has been active for about 2 weeks. 57k signups in 2 weeks, and 3.3k since yesterday, is a pretty incredible clip of new users.
That’s true, but I would just point out that the nice thing is you are not limited to kbin. I found the United Kingdom community on the Lemmy ‘Feddit’ instance. There isn’t a United Kingdom magazine here, so I just subscribed to the Feddit one, via Kbin. Seems to be working pretty seamlessly.
exciting to see kbin grow. it’s really starting to get cozy here. not quite matching how i used to feel on reddit, but definitely starting to feel like home. I’m glad to see that more people are joining.
is the lemmyverse also similarly growing?
Lemmy.world topped 70,000 active users yesterday. It was a 40% growth in 12 hours, so pretty crazy. If you go there right now you can tell the servers are under heavy load.
