i feel like kbin has a better signup process and is seeing more development overall but their current ui is more confusing. Still have no idea what Microblog, People and Magazines are.
People are users, microblog is mastodon/Twitter, magazines are subreddits. Threads are posts.
And I agree completely. I'm back to Jerboa/lemmy.ml for now. Really hoping a kbin android app launches soon to make it easier to use.
Microblog is posts from Mastodon, People lists active users of an instance/a magazine, Magazines work exactly like communities on Lemmy (and Lemmy communities are listed along the magazines).
One particular advantage of „native” /kbin magazine is an ability of magazine owner to specify hashtags to automatically classify Mastodon posts to particular magazine. This makes a magazine a useful tool also for following Mastodon discussions by topic.
