I’m a bit confused as to what platform I should look to for my exodus from Reddit. First we have Lemmy which is a direct Reddit alternative. Then we have kbin which is ALSO is own Reddit alternative AND portal to Lemmy/Mastodon. Finally we have Mastodon which is the well established Twitter alternative that doesn’t really portal to Lemmy or Kbin.
I’m ok with Mastodon being it’s own thing, but what about Lemmy and Kbin? Kbin seems more secure and flexible but Lemmy is longer running with apps available on iOS and Android.
Which do you think you’ll be gravitating towards?
I enjoy setting up accounts on different services and trying them out. I haven’t tried kbin yet. I’m using Lemmy thru the app Jerboa. I’ve liked Reddit’s threading format because it facilitates discussion in an organized way so that shitposters can’t derail an entire thread. I think Lemmy also succeeds with this. Jerboa needs more polish, and searching is not intuitive, but its all on the right track IMO.
