Despite the tankie stuff I prefer the interface of Lemmy, though I have accounts on both. Love that they federate. Things are happening.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

just looked for the first time, I really do prefer kbin's UI to Lemmy's right now at least the default web client. Is there value in running both or just one?
I notice I can see mastadon posts on lemmy as well but how do I find stuff on Kbin or Mastadon from lemmy?
If you're on desktop, I made a style that uses the Stylus add on to not look like shit
That's what I think most of us newcomers are struggling to figure out right now. Do I need a Mastadon account and a Lemmy account, or can I just use one to see the rest? Is there a better Android app or other website to integrate it all? Is matrix.org a part of all of this fediverse stuff?
Hmm, interesting. I just spent some time getting a Lemmy instance set up -- maybe I should've gone for kbin instead?
i think you can engage and interact across both so it may not matter as much.
What's kbin?
A different instance software for Reddit-like discussions. It federates with Lemmy instances, so it's all a nice single network.
What are the pros and cons of one platform over the other? Is KBin just Lemmy+Mastodon? Can Lemmy see KBin magazines?
in the short term we have a few upcoming critical mod tool launches we need to nail
Umm, you really should have launched this before shutting down the current tools mods use.
