I find this amazing. I hope Lemmy takes over as the one Reddit alternative. As I’ve been experimenting with it today I think it’s on an amazing growth path and hopefully more streamlined communities will be setup too!

What I don’t understand though. What was the reason for Kbin to be developed since we already have Lemmy as a Reddit alternative?
There seems to be consternation about “lemmygrad” and certain Mastodon users have decried Lemmy because the developer also runs “lemmygrad”.

It’s so stupid. Though right now it seems kbin is federating better with Mastodon vis-a-vis the UX? Not tried it out yet but if true, that might be another reason.
great meme
I had never heard of kbin before the Reddit shitstorm began.
Kbin seems to be AGPL3 software targeting ActivityPub, so ultimately it doesn’t matter, they’re joining us rest. Seems like it’s written in PHP so it could at least attract different contributors than what Lemmy would.
My understanding is it’s all the same thing? Lemmy, kbin, mastodon are all fediverse? So we can join any and see all of them?
Not quite. Different things speaking (partially) the same language, ActivityPub.
I think Lemmy can’t see Mastodon, and using Mastodon to browse Lemmy is suboptimal. Kbin is the only app layer that can work “ok” with both.
