If there is no kbin or lemmy community available yet, there is always the option to start it. Might be a nice opportunity to get such a place off the ground.

I’m curious, could you explain why?
Edit: missed the reply button, this was meant as a question to a previous comment. See below.
I long for a kbin iOS app like Apollo. One can dream.
It is what it is, and it was expected. Curious to see what happens around the 30th, all we can do right now is throw it a downvote. I'm finally finding my footing around kbin so there's the silver lining.
I can read german and swedish, but don’t need those magazines to flood my feed either. I would love a filter like that.
I will say it is interesting to see how little time it took for users from those countries to have gathered here.
It will take some time before I stop trying to refresh the front page habitually, but I like the variety of posts I've seen fly by on KBIN the past days. Had to filter out some german pages though.
It does feel more comfy, though only time will tell. It certainly is nice to at least have an alternative place to check out habitually.
I just posted a thread describing similar concerns. I only went for niche places such as 3d sculpting and emulation devices, but still it was nice to once in a while come across things outside of my bubble of interests.
What I mostly worry about is the bar of entry for the fediverse being too high for the casual user, the majority of which would fill such less niche boards with interesting and regular content. We live in a 'push button, get dopamine' era of content, and the fediverse seems more complicated than that.
Ah, seems I misclicked. This was in response to @kadu because I personally prefer kbin over Lemmy for a variety of reasons. I do agree we should grow both rather than devolve into tribalism.
