With Twitter and Reddit the way that they are, many people are turning to federated servers as their online home, kbin among them.

How are you using kbin? As a Twitter replacement? Reddit? As something new entirely?

Personally I’m trying to follow multiple types of federated content, magazines, and people.

I think kbin has a lot of growth to go through before all that content can become streamlined and look nice - but it’s all there, and that’s what counts.

If there’s one thing I would change, it would be putting the comment box at the top, or in a drop-down instead of at the very bottom of a thread. But, I’m also just happy that the site is more stable and people are posting!

    Same! I was a long time Reddit user and decided to leave after the whole spez thing. I’m hoping to build up some of the same communities that I really loved. The apps will also make a huge difference imo

      Once there’s an actual kbin API, I’m hopeful we’ll start getting spoiled for choice like Mastodon is when it comes to apps.
