My experience with Kbin is that it seems more limited on Federated posts and that the smaller Kbin instance (I use Readit.buzz) seems to be lacking some of the posts and thumbnails that I see on Kbin.social. It seems like Lemmy works better on the smaller instances (not Lemmy.world) than Kbin does (not kbin.social).
I have not really used the Kbin microblog—I am using Mastodon for that.
I’ve used both Lemmy and Kbin. I see advantages to both, but I have been finding that Kbin isn’t as flexible with federated posts and is less flexible with smaller instances: my smaller instance of Kbin is missing a lot of posts and images that show up on kbin.social.
My smaller instance of Lemmy (VLemmy) seems to be pretty complete, so I have been been happy with it.
Also, the constant Kbin warnings about missing info on Federated magazines has really pushed me toward Lemmy.
I like being able to maximize space for viewing on my phone and find it irritating that Lemmy and Kbin sites don’t have light/dark modes.
I signed up in the last few days and still struggling with it. I would love the ability to add RSS feeds but haven't figured out how to do that. For example, I use nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/homepage.xml to connect to the NY Times on my RSS Reader, but when I input it into "Find People" or "Add Contact" on my instance of Frendica it can't find it. Any ideas? Using Venera.social.
Weird, I see a picture on WefWef, but not on Memmy. Is it possibly because the picture is very large?
I saw him in Philadelphia in 2019 on his “Farewell” Tour. He has been doing farewell tours for years.
