  • I’m afraid that’s just because spammers, trolls and other bad agents haven’t discovered this platform yet and/or there’s not enough people here for spamming to be worth it. The current selection of users who were likely to join also probably has an effect. Once (if?) this grows and reaches more general population, I’d bet it will look similar to /r/all/new.

    Edit: It’s a kind of paradox. You want more users on the platform so that there’s enough content and more niche communities can form but that inevitably makes the place less pleasant. Although this moment is still very, very far for kbin. I mean Reddit became absolutely humongous in the last several years.


  • I tried Lemmy yesterday but today, probably thanks to the influx of new users, it’s been extremely slow to the point of unusability. So now I’m trying out kbin which seems to be running faster (although still slower than old.reddit). Ignoring those issues, I can’t decide yet which I like more.

    I’m also still kinda confused about all the Federation stuff. So supposedly you should be able to interact with kbin hosted stuff on lemmy and vice versa and I can indeed see posts from lemmy on kbin’s “front page” but what if I happen to come across something directly on the lemmy.world website (or any other Fediverse instance for that matter, where I don’t even have an account), is there an easy way to access it from kbin.social?

    I feel like the decentralized nature of Fediverse is at the same time its strength but at the same time makes it harder for users to switch.
