Obviously this will be a biased post becasue I’m asking on lemmy, but I wanted to hear opinions, since I find kbin’s interface to be really awkward and all over the place

    While I like the UI/UX experience of Kbin, I will still choose Lemmy for the more reddit-like experience that it offers. I find kbin’s nomenclature of magazines as being equivalent to sub-reddits awkward. Furthermore, it’s trying to be a blend of twitter and reddit. I like the general free/open source approach of one tool for one job rather than trying to do a bunch of different things sub-optimally.

      Agree. I if I want a twitter-like experience I’ll open Mastodon. Lets me keep separate identities too, which is nice.

    If you want to use a 3rd party app on your phone to browse, then Lemmy is the only choice.

    I tried Kbin before I tried Lemmy, and I didn’t really like the interface of Kbin much. I’m not really sure what else Kbin has going for it other than the interface. With Lemmy there are actually multiple different interfaces you can use. So as someone who likes choice, Lemmy is the one for me.

    I tried both and for me kbin was a bit too busy. Lemmy is more simple and intuitive.

    Lemmy for me.

    I’ve casually browsed kbin a few times and the interface seems a bit scattered and confusing to me.

    I started off with Kbin, and it was great because it was initially more straightforward with a more sensible UI. But since they didn’t release an API quickly enough, apps like Voyager came in, so I’ve switched to Lemmy.

    It also looks like the UI/UX hasn’t changed much when I logged into Kbin, so it feels significantly more stagnant. And once Sync for Lemmy hits the Play Store, I’m probably going to stick with it.
