Kbin does allow downvotes from what I can see and downvotes doesn’t really bring it to a toxic environment as it’s just a way to easily disagree with someone without having to go into depth in the comments. It’s like YouTube videos, if you dislike it doesn’t mean it’s bad, it just means you personally don’t like it.

SamXavia,

Same here, so far Lemmy seems to be the better option for me.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you for breaking it down for me, seems like it’s really up to if someone wants better control over things than Lemmy currently does.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Fair enough, I seem to find it confusing as of the moment but I’ll give it a proper go to see if I prefer it in the end.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

I guess my thoughts are I can deal with the simpler UI, It doesn’t have anything on the screen without a specific use. I guess Kbin would be the same just has so much more on the screen than Lemmy does what I guess would overwhelm me.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you, I will decently look further into Kbin a lot more as it seems like a good Instance.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you, you’ve been so useful and don’t worry about the long message it’s what these are for.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I do see the use of using multiple but I know that I will in the future prefer having a ‘Main’ and as of the moment it seems like my Lemmy will be that.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

That is completly fair enough, I personally find Lemmy.world stable but some other people don’t seem to have the same expereince. My guess is because of the location of the server.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I’ll have to look into that as if they are accepting not only Genocide but possibly the Genocide of Trans people then I’ve got to get out quick due to being a Trans Person myself.

It’s good to know that Kbin is newer than Lemmy, probably hints why some of it needs a bit of work but I have enjoyed the two seconds of usage I have had on it. Also, I’m only just learning now about the stuff that Lemmy has done, Not sure it’s been suppressed or people are just not informed, I will look further into Kbin thank you.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you, this really has opened up my mind.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah looking to see if I can bring the content I’ve used on here across or if I need to 100% restart from scratch again. I do luckily already have a Kbin account that I’ve been messing around with but don’t want to lose my Communities / Magazines.

Mastodon or Lemmy

So I’ve been starting to look further into the Fediverse and using it a lot more than any other part of the internet at this point. I wanna know the reasons why people might prefer Lemmy or Mastodon, I have both but seem to lean towards Lemmy for some reason, but not sure why maybe it’s the simple design and you can find...

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Oh I didn’t release there was that much difference between Kbin and Lemmy, I knew they were similar but I didn’t release they sort of work together a bit more.

I like the UI of Threads sure but never been a huge user of Twitter or Reddit. haven’t really been a user of Social Media but I do find Lemmy a lot more freeing in the chatting sort of way.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Pretty much what I thought it was like, but what about Kbin?

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

I pretty much agree, I find being able to flip between communities more useful than just having a feed of the same like-minded people, you explained it really well thanks.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve just created my kbin account now, I’ll give it a good go, been enjoying Lemmy the most as of the moment but if I can find a platform that works even better for me then that would be great.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I it’s amazing having the Fediverse <3

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

I’m a Lesbian hun, I only go one way lol

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Character Limits are annoying, I don’t think Lemmy has one or at least I haven’t reached it.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

I can see why using both Mastodon and Lemmy could be quite nice to be used for different types of content you want to find.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I would love to see the ability to be able to follow users on Lemmy as it would be nice to see what your favourite people are up to.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks yeah been looking into Kbin, seems very confusing but I’ll give it a chance when I’m board of Lemmy or Mastodon and want to see what I can find on the platform.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

That makes sense, yeah I think in the end I prefer using a community aspect than a person based one.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

I found that too, Seems like Mastodon feels like a continues moving river as Lemmy seems to be more calm and you can actually move around.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

That makes so much sense, It’s easier to keep up with Lemmy compared to Mastodon, Like I woke up to over 30 amazing responses on my posts and now I can look through all of these and maybe write some small things in communities and move on instead of having to get around finding all the topics I want to talk about and look for.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

That makes sense, use them as different platforms as you can’t have 100% crossover at all times.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I understand that, I was just asking why people lean more towards Lemmy, As I personally never used to use Social Media.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you, this explained it very well. I’ll probably carry on using Lemmy even more than I currently do as I seem to enjoy it more as well as it seems to run very smooth like you said.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

I agree, it seems like there is so much content being released on Mastodon every second as Lemmy seems to be slow but you can get a quick response when you wish too.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

What about Kbin have you tired that as it’s meant to be like a Lemmy + Mastodon mix. Not sure if it is but I’m trying it out now to see if it’s truly worth it. I currently perfer Lemmy.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe someone should try posting the whole bible into a comment or something lol

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Fair enough, I’ve been slowly looking Kbin as that seems to be a mix between the two.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you for sharing your experience.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Have you ever thought of following the people from Kbin instead of Mastodon?

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

That’s completely fair enough, I find topics are a good go-to but have recently been enjoying Kbin for the next of both.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

That’s fair enough, I do hope more people move to the Fediverse in the future.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Hents why I asked the question, I’d rather move away from these paid for services ran by companies to earn mass profit from people.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks, I can’t really spell

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll check it out, thank you.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah that’s at least something and I have been wanting to look further into running a Plex server.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

That’s really cool, I’ll take a look.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I didn’t really think when I said about Podcasts tbh but it’s nice to know that I can choose what I want to use.
