Great summary, and I think kbin is in a great position because although maybe not a feature rich or mature as Lemmy currently is so many migrators have said they’re here because “it just seems nice.” I think that’s an incredibly difficult feeling to capture and maintaining that friendliness and approachability as the platform grows will be key.

It's a simple UI. Was looking up several alternatives to Reddit and so far kbin stands out the best, featuring functionalities from Reddit and in general intuitive to use - which is key to success

i agree. so far kbin is my favorite so far out of everything i've checked out. my worry is lack of mobile apps and the api not being up to snuff. kbin needs to catch up and convince one of the big app makers to come along. sync already says lemmy :(

I just use the site as a PWA. It’s pretty good. Sometimes the ends of a line of text in a comment get clipped but besides that it’s quite functional.

I don’t use it as a PWA because on iPhone ar least that takes away the back button and URL bar

Good thing about fedaration is we can talkmtomall those Lemmy sync app users. I have my setup now so many Lemmy threads feel as front page as kbin ones. So is no differnt to talking.to people on Apollo, rif, synch,old.reddit and new Reddit back there
