What's the benefit of using Kbin over Lemmy?
I see a very small minority of people using Kbin, but I don't understand why.
Is this just a coincidence and did some people choose Kbin over Lemmy or is there a good reason to use Kbin?
Apart from what has already been said (politics, basic UI) there are a couple more things worth mentioning:
Other than that only personal taste matters in the end, and both federate with eachother, so enjoy it from wherever you are.
I was confused what boosting is. Docs said it's basically a repost/share.
So I think super like is misleading. Even if your super liking is the reason you share it, they're two different things.
(I may not necessarily want to share/share-promote hat I super-like. What I share is curation too.)
It's literally not. Over here, on top of the "repost to your profile under your boosts section" functionality it's intended to have, it also counts as 2x rep for the poster. It really, truly is also a "super-like."
Also the ability for users to block instances and domain like mastodon has, which is pretty cool.
This is a big one. There were some contributions from either instances or bots on my feed I didn’t like that I just blocked, and my feed is fine now. No need to ask for defederation of the whole community when you can do it yourself.
I’m still searching everywhere for the ability to block entire instances in kbin (on mobile). Can you please elaborate on how it is done? I only see magazine pages with the block option.
There's also several contributors who are actively working on improving the settings and adding in new features. I've been proposing a few changes for the mobile UI, letting you change up the mobile layout but all of that things take time (and add complexity) so it's slow moving
