I honestly don’t really get why people use Lemmy. Kbin has a much better interface and is way less buggy. The PWA acts as a great app so I’m really kind of flummoxed. Also the users are cooler.
Did they delete the other comment or is the bug not on their end? Cause I only see one currently.
I mean that’s the first time that has happened to me and I’m fairly sure that one was actually on me swiping back.
Like Lemmy’s bugs have been pretty freaking serious. Biggest kbin one since I’ve gotten here was it logged you out too soon, and that wasn’t even a bug someone had just pushed a feature that got rolled back.
Just teasing :)
Yeah, they're both honestly pretty rough to use. kbin for example wouldn't show comments with any content blockers on for iOS, which makes it a pretty nonstarter for me. I personally don't think either have really nailed interface, either.
They must have fixed that before I got here. The internet without ad blockers is an unusable dystopian cesspool.
Oh absolutely. I run a network-wide adblocker (pi-hole) and still also adblock stuff on all my clients.
What do you mean about content blockers?
Things like Adblock on iOS
I have never experienced that
Lemmy -> Kbin federation wasn't (isn't?) working that great, and considering 90% of content on KBin's front page is lemmy content anyway...
Also there's like two dozen apps for Lemmy now including several in the app stores
Plus stuff like https://old.thelemmy.club
It wasn’t working for two days at the beginning of the migration, besides that it actually works better than lemmy to lemmy, from what I’ve noticed.
Yeah, most content comes from lemmy, because that’s where most people are, it just doesn’t really make sense beyond going to where the people already are, and not actually comparing the systems.
I guess that’s why y’all chose the lemming as your mascot :p
