This question is especially for people who have joined in the last week. Have you used other fediverse platforms or is this your first time really using one? What do you think of it so far? Are you aware that you can comment on Lemmy posts with a Mastodon account?

    Joined Lemmy last week but moved to kbin, I’ve been on the Fediverse for a few years now. First joined on Mastodon, but now I actively use Calckey, Akkoma, and am a mod on a Peertube instance. As for what I thought of Lemmy, I liked it, but I was more curious about kbin as I’d heard about it for a while

      I’ve been exploring them both today, but surprised that kbin doesn’t have a mobile app. I don’t really understand the relationships of the fediverse and how kbin is connected to Lemmy or isn’t, but I found it really hard to figure out how to search for subreddits (or whatever they’re called on kbin), whereas it’s pretty straightforward here. Still, both are surprisingly user unfriendly to this noob, and I don’t understand why all these fediverse platforms emphasize the server you’re on so much in their UIs when I imagine 99% of people just want to join the full Lemmy or Mastodon or whatever the service is, rather than an individual server. Seems like they could just have servers blend into the background better, but I guess that’s the architecture of this software.

      the good thing is that both Lemmy and Kbin can interact with each other ^^
