me on kbin not knowing lemmy didn't have these things... damn lol
Same, every time I see those posts thinking, "Kbin does that."
Ernest is kinda the best, gotta say. Everyone should buy him a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin
Kbin was where I first signed up but they didn't have an app (yet). I'm only on Lemmy because I can use it on my phone. I kinda like Kbin better.
It's certainly nice to have an app, but I've been happy with to stay on kbin by having it permanently sit in a Firefox tab on my phone. Functions just fine for my purposes like that.
If you want something that resembles an app, you can even make a shortcut in firefox and put it on your home screen so you can have a dedicated kbin button rather than setting aside a firefox tab. Works great.
Its a responsive designed website, why do you need an Application?
I think these are all features that are being worked on, along with better administration and moderation tools. The Lemmy devs are very busy 😀
I've been using kbin mostly on my computer, and its interesting to see the lemmy.world feeds pop in. still learning all the function of kbin. on my phone I just use wefwef.app as there seems to be a lot more of the low brow content I am looking for when pooping like funny memes.
Does wefwef (voyager) support kbin? It sounds like that's what you are implying, just want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding.
If so, I may make a kbin account and see how that works. Mostly I am looking for a familiar "post/subscribe into categorical communities" solution with no extra fluff. That's why I like Lemmy, but I haven't looked into kbin at all, in truth.
Not sure what the diff is, or what openness they have, which came first, why the next one was developed etc
I'll give it a shot. Lemmy not having any search is a bit of a bummer.

I've been enjoying mlmym.org it mimics oldreddit. Still needs some flushing out, I would love to see it developed further.
It's good that there's multiple ways for people to enjoy the fediverse. I'd also point out that there's a heap of people actively looking into improving kbin (you can follow the PRs coming here)
I'm super keen to get in some of the usability ones, tweaks for mobile and other features to make the mobile experience more exciting.
Eventually I'd like to tackle the core search functionally so we can search for users, magazines, posts and other content with more filters and options. Right now it's good enough, but having more granular control would be handy for finding just that right community or post
Kbin has been great. It's always odd seeing all the complaints and not knowing why people wouldn't just migrate over here. Waters warm.
Honestly, I think most people don't know about kbin/know about it's feature set. I made this post hoping it would help raise some awareness.

A built-in search tool to find communities all over fedi (kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon groups, etc.) with an indication of how active they are
I didn't realise this was something only Kbin did. It is extremely handy.
I like Kbin a lot - there's no OS app but the PWA does me alright. It was the UI that win me over but I couldn't do without having a good search tool now I've got used to it I have to say
Yeah, the search is the main thing that drew me to kbin, but I do also strongly prefer the UI (even if it has a couple of quirks).
