I like that kbin is smaller compared to some lemmy instances. I also prefer the UI. Bigger communities tend to feel a bit overwhelming for me. I also appreciate how transparent Ernest has been regarding kbin’s development. That said, it’s been a bit challenging to figure out how to utilize some of the federation features that kbin has to offer–microblogging in particular. From what I’ve seen, people don’t generally seem too interested in this feature, but I think it’s nice to have.
Among all Fediverse softwares, Kbin is the one I like the most - from the clean interface to the local community, which I really like - just the right balance between serious topics and memes, and decent comment quality.
Even if I’m most active on some federated communities, I don’t plan to switch anytime soon.
The only headscratcher that - more than “not like”, just puzzled me a bit - is the different naming convention (magazines, microblogs, etc.), but again it’s a small thing.
