Love Reddit but tired of what’s happening to it? We check out Lemmy and Kbin, two open-source fediverse alternatives that are growing fast.
I absolutely adore kbin. It gets better every day!
Any app for it yet?
Artemis should enter open beta in a few days.Correction: It is in public beta!
Every article or thread I read comparing kbin vs lemmy, kbin always comes out on top and yet lemmy has way more users and I just can’t figure out why.
Kbin is about 3 months old whereas Lemmy is about 3 years old. Kbin simply wasn’t ready for growth, and still has a few major feature shortfalls. Lack of API access is a big one.
A fair-minded article. This sounded off though:
a big attraction of Reddit—that its main page is a kind of greatest hits of an enormous community.
No, r/all was the lowest common denominator, full of karmafarming, ragebait, and reposts. Every time I looked at r/all I regretted it, so I mostly stuck to subreddits.
