Having a good time. Lemmy was giving me too many errors, but if they improve it I may switch more to posting from that account again.

I kinda liked that, but I can't easily see fresh post on Lemmy. Their frontpage seems to either be too stale with 6 day old content or too new with 0 comments. Combine that with the bug that keeps loading new content as you scroll and it drive you nuts.
Hoping for 0.18 to be released soon as that fixes the new content bug!
This isn't by Kbin account, but I honestly prefer Kbin's interface. Lemmy's is shiny, but it also has a few problems that can be a little annoying when trying to use Lemmy on a computer.
It also works on my older tablet with imploding like Lemmy's does, which is a nice bonus.
I'm on kbin too, but my understanding is that the next Lemmy release is going to stop the auto refresh that keeps the interface moving while trying to use it, which I would guess is one of the "little annoying" UI issues and probably also produces some of the load.
I mean, my guess is that the low-hanging fruit, the really in-your-face stuff that take a tweak or two, is gonna get hammered out pretty quickly on both software packages. Hell, if it doesn't, I'll throw some PRs in myself.
It's things like scaling issues at the ActivityPub level or something like that that I'm more wondering about. Some of that may be harder, because as the Fediverse keeps growing, I suspect that scaling issues will show up.
Fabulous.
The future is federated. 💪🌎
Can’t explain it, but signed up for both and kbin just feels…nice?
Hello from the other siiiiiide.
Our sorting algo is diiiiiivine.
Content is more varied,
Not shuffled poorly.
The front page looks better,
Doesn't scroll rapidly.
... That's all I've got.
I’m still stumbling around bumping into things. But someone kindly explained how to pin the site to my phone - it’s sitting next to Apollo, for now - and things are starting to feel better. I spent an embarrassingly long time looking for the back button before realising swype worked.
I'm enjoying it, but I wish kbin had a dark mode. As more users start coming over from reddit, etc. and producing content, it should get even better.

Not bad, thanks! Dog is sleeping on my lap, pinning down my scrolling and tapping hand with his little chin, but I’m managing. How’s stuff over in Lemmyville?
I wish they'd merge identically named communities, or allow mods to select specific communities to merge into each other.
i.e. subscribing to /m/technology, they should automatically federate lammy.ml/c/technology ... or a mod of /m/askkbin can choose to federate /c/asklemmy, etc... that would be awesome
