or kbin ;)
It's a shame how often people forget us. Though could be a good thing given how much drama there is in some parts of Lemmy
Kbin's federation has been hit or miss a lot. It's not that we forget you, a lot of the time, you don't show up.
That will hopefully improve as Kbin matures.
To be fair, the isolation stuff was mostly at the beginning when the exodus started, but I couldn't blame people for leaving when that started. Some people just want to be where everyone is.
I can't say I've experienced much issue with federation since the early times, but then again I wouldn't know what it looks like on the Lemmy side.
I'm not referring to the intentional disabling of federation, but that kbin has had technical issues even after that which has made federation to and from lemmy instances intermittent.
I was on kbin when I first ditched Reddit, but boost coming out for Lemmy got me to switch. The mobile site for kbin is ok but nothing compared to a mostly fleshed out app. Also, like the other guy said the federation wasn't always there.
Personally I like the interface for Kbin. It has many of the features you want in modern forums, but retains a look reminiscent of older style forums. Though I can see it wouldn't be for everyone.
Ah, the great isolation. Was a funny time everyone wondering why they could only see Kbin content haha
