I agree, at least on mobile. I tried both and Lemmy feels like the natural alternative. Kbin reminds me more of old Reddit in UI, but Lemmy reminds me of Apollo UI.
Yeah that makes sense! I feel like this is why the fediverse might actually work especially well during this battle, being that the battle is literally “everybody uses the site differently and now all of the ways you love to use the site are going away” (obviously not old Reddit but you get the picture)
Sure, but at least they still have control of it. I imagine when investors are getting involved, and you don’t have control of a portion of your user base, it raises concerns.
Fair, I only ever used slide for reddit until it started getting glitchy and refused to show gifs a year or so ago, then used sync. Lemmy has a great mobile UI very reminiscent of the old 3rd party reddit apps
Boost was my favorite when I was on Android. I think the only thing I miss are gestures to vote and collapse comments, but the controls are set up well enough to make it a non issue. Props to the lemmy devs

That’s why Kbin feels more like Reddit to me. I was always using old on desktop, and RiF on-the-go.

Old Reddit is 100% slated for execution.
The admins just haven’t given a date.

At least one of them must actively be using it. There is no way it has survived all this time otherwise.

the mlem app is so close to Apollo! I hope we can get something like it for kbin
