It’s okay. I was optimistic at first, but I don’t think this platform is cohesive enough yet to be worth using consistently, especially with instances defederating from each other off and on. It means you have to have multiple accounts to access certain communities, and then kbin is a whole other thing I guess? Because I can’t log into kbin from wefwef so I can’t even access the stuff posted there.
Honestly the reason I’m even still continuing to even open lemmy other than to check its growth is because of how nice wefwef is.
Also, like other people have said, the jerking each other off about leaving Reddit has gotten unappealing. There’s only so much self congratulation I can take.
kbin is a different code base than Lemmy and doesn't support the same API. At least not yet. But they use the same ActivityPub protocols and so can communicate with each other, and with other Fediverse applications.
The good news is that you can subscribe to communities on kbin servers via Lemmy. And once they're in a Lemmy instance you can use Lemmy apps.
