I’m not sure if Lemmy, kbin, or something else will work out to be the community favorite, so I’m trying out both and would encourage others to do the same.
Normally, you can participate in a Lemmy community from kbin and the other way around, but kbin.social has been dealing with a DDoS attack or some such, and its mitigation measures are making that unreliable at the moment.
You must log in or register to comment.
Okay, Since it’s not federated here I’ll have to make an account on that instance.
/m/flashlight should federate with Lemmy, but you’ll generally get the best UX when you’re using the same software.
There were federation problems with both kbin.social and lemmy.world during the initial massive influx of Reddit users. Both seem to have resolved the major issues.
Trying out both… Nothing wrong with trying out things, but (coming from deddit) this is my problem with the fediverse. You can easily end up with two or more flashlight communities that have a lot of the posts in common, as the content creators may make the effort to post in multiple communities, but many commenters wont do that so each replicated post will have its own comment stream. Hopefully, things will get better once the federation between lemmy and kbin works as intended. At the moment, i can see the kbin posts, but cant vote or comment, or subscribe it seems
