In part because it reminds me a bit of the old internet, with stuff being spread around everywhere.
Being “harder”* to understand than reddit, twitter or other big companies’ services is also a good thing, because people should remember that they have a brain and they should use it.
- “harder” because not everyone understands the fediverse right away, since usability is extremely similar

It’s actually another Reddit clone similar to Lemmy, but much newer. You can use kbin to see posts from kbin, Lemmy, or Mastodon. There’s a bit of a guide to it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/145npay/the_redditors_guide_to_how_kbin_works_your/
After using Lemmy and kbin a little bit over the past few days, Lemmy seems to be a bit more stable at this point so I’m sticking with it for now. But with more development time, kbin might ultimately be where I head to.
Thanks! I will check it out kbin.
I have Mastedon but Lemmy is more enjoyable. I’m thinking it’s because mastedon is more like twitter and I never got into twitter to begin with.
Kbin is a mix of both.
The UI is built like lemmy and has a micro blog which is more twitter-esque.
You can subscribe to kbin “magazines” just like communities from other federated lemmy instances too, so you can view them all through lemmy.world or whichever instance you’re on
