I've been on Lemmy since the Reddit stuff happened. I also started using PeerTube. Now I am trying to explore more of the Fediverse and wanted to know what Kbin brings to the table compared to Lemmy.

    Since you're already familiar with lemmy, I'll just highlight how Kbin diverges:

    • downvotes are publicly visible

    • there's a double-upvote called "boost" that also acts as a retweet

    • it interacts with Mastodon instances natively as well as lemmy ones

    • munis are called "magazines" and located at /m/ instead of /c/, which csn break some links which would be instance-neutral on lemmy

    • there's only a web interface, AFAIK, no mobile apps

    • active development by one sole individual who's very involved

    • blocking whole instances is enabled at the user level

    And additionally you can do everything you can on lemmy, including self-host an instance.

      I think you just sold me on kbin.

      This one sound easy enough to fix though, just set up a redirect on the web server. I think that's how it works.

      e: NEvermind turns out blocking a domain doesn't block the users so there's no fucking point to it.
