Is it speed? Features? Ease of development? Just curious why lemmy is seeing more activity as opposed to other networks.

      Although Kbin does have the advantage of being compatible with older devices, as a result of it using an established platform. If you have an older iDevice, for example, neither Lemmy nor most of its apps/interfaces work at all.

      Kbin works fine.

          Lemmy’s Web interface relies on some JavaScript that does not load properly, similar to some websites.

          Trying to load Lemmy results in the site being loaded with neither CSS nor JavaScript working, rendering the site entirely unusable, since it’s a bunch of loose website bits, with no formatting or functions attached to them.

          Kbin appears to not have this problem.

          Other sites would also be broken, although since iOS 12 didn’t have an accessible Web console, there’s no way to tell how or why exactly. Wefwef would load as an entirely blank page, with nothing showing at all, Reddit’s redesigned website would just be a blank frame of a website, with no text at all, and Tumblr posts would disappear as soon as it tried to load the notes a post got.
