    Yeah but kbin has fallen behind on development. The sole dev has been having personal issues, which is understandable, however the project really could do with more imperitive behind it. Someone forked off and made mbin, but so far that's just diluting things.

    I think lemmy is where it's at. The core devs are questionable (certainly one of the original duo is, the other is maybe more diplomatic) but ultimately it doesn't matter who the devs are but specifically what code is put into the instance you use. The devs design the machine, but it's the instance admin who build it, and ultimately the instance admin is who you're putting your trust with.

    It fell behind, it's started up again and I'm loving the improvements. I'm.on .social so Ernest is kind of the instance host as well as the dev. I do trust him, he's cool.

    When I first joined it wasn't even federating and we had constant Cloudflare challenges. I'm patient.

    Besides, I have accounts all over the fediverse if I feel like it. Lemmy still doesn't feel right to me.

    How when there’s so many apps and alternative frontends to choose from?

    It just doesn't have as many features and feels less intuitive.

    Kbin going to release API soon.

    That doesn’t even make any sense replying to me so I don’t know if you were replying to somebody else or what. If you use an alternate front end, there are way more features or if you use an app there are way more features. Do you understand what I’m saying? There’s some very unique projects out there.

    @willya sorry yeah I think I misunderstood you. Thought you were talking about API for 3rd parties.

    Hey what front end do you recommend? Need a clean minimalist interface that can block instances, block specific websites, and I like to see names of users who upvoted/downvoted, and keep notes on users.

    I will be using kbin as my main but I'd like my lemmy stuff to look a bit nicer.

    I also think Kbin is way ahead of Lemmy in terms of integrating with the Fediverse at large. It's not perfect for sure, but in my opinion it builds on a better starting point. The real test of Mastodon integration for me will be when Mastodon finally introduces groups - it will be interesting to see how they integrate with communities in the Threadiverse.

    I honestly also struggle to get an overview of what's happening in Lemmy development, to me Kbin seems more transparent. But both platforms are obviously fine, and Lemmy is still more mature for sure.
