Honestly atm I'm using lemmy for mobile and kbin for desktop. I might switch to kbin more permanently if the app gets finished and is a better user interface. I'm mostly on lemmy simply because I'm mostly on mobile.

The personal views of the lemmy devs are bad, but by the nature of FOSS idk if that should matter. I also know nothing about the veiws of the dev of kbin, and I don't think I wanna know tbh. I'm not sure how I should behave in regards to the problematic political views of the people making things I like. Lemmy could always be forked and worked on by different people but that would probably only really happen if the current devs ruined it or abandoned it.

Honestly it was pretty arbitrary, I happened to pick Kbin over Lemmy on the day, and figured I might change my mind and move to Lemmy if I didn't like it. I feel like I've made the right choice though, I like it here!

I feel like the UI for Kbin is cleaner, though not without its problems. And I can access Lemmy communities from Kbin as well (this works a lot better than I expected it would), so I'm not really missing out if I choose it over Lemmy.

I'm also giving an answer to the other thread on Lemmy, since I think there are good reasons to use that one as well. They're both solid, and I'm using both regularly--often viewing posts from one service on the other. For me, it's "yes AND," not "no BUT."

Because no obvious Tankies.

I looked at Lemmy.world then Kbin.

I went with Kbin because Lemmy keeps pulling new threads onto the top of the home page feed. This pushes down content on the home page as you're trying to read it. And I just don't want it to be constantly pulling in new data, especially if I'm doing other stuff and my browser is just in the background.

I like the layout better all there really is to it.
