Lemmy and Kbin: The Best Reddit Alternatives?
Love Reddit but tired of what's happening to it? We check out Lemmy and Kbin, two open-source fediverse alternatives that are growing fast.

I have not used kbin yet. Is there any feature that really makes it worth using over Lemmy ? I'm curious as I want to try it out sometime.
P.S - I use Lemmy through wefwef
8 0 ReplyI have a few kbin communities subscribed from Lemmy and interaction works fine.
If you don't use the webinterface a lot, it probably doesn't matter which one of the two you are using.
8 0 ReplyLemmy had a better backend when I tried kbin the last time. And lemmy has just gotten better since then.

I think the main thing that makes its nice is it federates with both Lemmy and Mastodon under one interface. While Lemmy can post to Mastodon instances and vice versa, it's not a part of the Interface really, you have to manually copy URLs
3 0 ReplyIt's buggy though and doesn't seem to work properly. People have reported not seeing posts from Kbin on Lemmy at all sometimes.

Does lemmy use google or Facebook as an idp yet? That makes things pretty easy on kbin.social.
