Some of the planned blackouts will be temporary, others plan to shut their subreddits down indefinitely in protest.

I’m not sure why you’d knock one platform for it but not the other.

Time and scale of use of Lemmy is much greater, therefor more problems have been identified and fixed. It's possible that kbin devs are smarter of better or have been able to benefit from observing the experiences of Lemmy devs, but non of those are safe assumptions without specific knowledge.

It's also possible that the kbin design is simply a better one for any number of reasons. But we won't know that until is gets much more use by many more people. Lemmy has that "advantage" now, thus the safer bet is on Lemmy.

It seems like the Lemmy devs are not interested in creating the feature of following individuals. Unless someone forks the project to add it, anyone who wants that feature should give kbin a try. I'm not one of them.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
