  • Really, I think one of the only reasons kbin hasn’t exploded like the others, is because of that split nature. The Mastodon blow up and the Reddit blew up were both instances of people looking for a very direct replacement to the thing they were leaving, rather than something that was, from their perspective at the time, a replacement with extras. Kbin could also use more devs though, I think they just have the one who is doing it on donations alone.


  • Yes, I haven’t tried it myself but my understanding is that kbin is exactly that. What kbin calls a “magazine” maps directly with Lemmy communities/subs and a kbin user can subscribe to a Lemmy sub via the same process they would use to subscribe to a kbin magazine. Kbin microblogging maps directly with Mastodon posts and so a kbin user can follow Mastodon users and their posts the same way they follow fellow kbin user microblogs.
