Maybe I need to be on ml then. I feel like world is just full of the same.
I quite like beehaw and their communities, and yeah, you're missing out on those if you're on world, from what I understand. (Fairly sure they're still defederated.)
I personally like lemmy.ml, but I know it's not for everyone, and the admins would prefer to keep it a smaller instance, I think. I'm only here because there weren't as many federated servers three years ago when I made an account.
You also might check out !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone, they flood my feed with good memes.
I blocked 196 because it was just shitty memes being spammed
196 is amazing
Just gotta follow The Rule
Kbin is a nice alternative. Content cycles out of Hot a lot faster on here.
You also get microblogging support on here, so you have access to the Mastodon side of the fediverse as well without having to copy and paste links.
Try out Kbin, as well. Personally I have none of the usual Lemmy complaints
Are there any decent iOS apps for kbin yet? I almost never browse these sites on desktop (hence why I have completely left Reddit since Apollo died).
Currently using Memmy on iOS which is great.
Kbin doesn't have an api yet, so apps aren't supported (there are some in the works though for when the api goes public). In the meantime, you can install the pwa through a browser.
The PWA is very decent for a basic browsing experience. There are a few in the works, most notable being Artemis which is now in public beta I think. It uses the new Kbin API which is also in beta.
For now, the app can only be used with the artemis.camp instance, but soon Kbin.social and the rest Kbin instances will use the API and be usable with the app as well. It is inspired by Apollo btw
Thanks for the info. I’ll have to check it out!
