What Kbin communities do you subscribe to? (lemmy.world)

I mostly see Lemmy communities in my "All" page, but I am not sure if that is the case, how discovery across Kbin and Lemmy would work.

I made an account on both world and kbin, I gave up mostly on the kbin account, I couldn't find anything local that caught my eye and I didn't like the UI layout for it, that night be part of their issue as well

Funny, I started on Lemmy and switched to kbin because I prefer kbin's UI. Can't please everybody!

Which is why platform diversity and interoperability is or can be a super power for the fediverse. you can’t please everybody with a single platform, but you might have a chance with an ecosystem of different platforms that can talk to each other.

that you can not! lol Thankfully theres ton's of options. I personally couldn't get into having communities be called magazines, I found it confusing to find what I wanted then I moved to lemmy and then it was somewhat re-enforced the decision when it was stated that the instance was being de-federated from some instances so I sorta just stayed.

I agree that magazines is a stupid name for it, but it's easy to get used to and it doesn't really matter what you call them. People understand.

I did the same. Then realised I could follow most of the more interesting kbin magazines from lemmy. So that’s where I’ve stayed.

Also, having a mobile app is probably the second most important thing to me (after content). And lemmy has lots of options there.
