I like that kbin is smaller compared to some lemmy instances. I also prefer the UI. Bigger communities tend to feel a bit overwhelming for me. I also appreciate how transparent Ernest has been regarding kbin's development. That said, it's been a bit challenging to figure out how to utilize some of the federation features that kbin has to offer--microblogging in particular. From what I've seen, people don't generally seem too interested in this feature, but I think it's nice to have.

I feel like pretty much all the ui things like that, including lack of conversation collapsing, the weird ways to get to various settings, sorting by hot being really awful, etc - are all the same as when I first started. It feels like development stopped over a month ago. I haven't seen a post or comment from Ernest in at least that long, either.

He posted on Kbinmeta yesterday. He's been busy with family matters but is still spending all his free time worrying on Kbin and working towards a full release at the end of September.

Just thought to look him up and saw it. It was a good post. I also just donated some money.
