Here (kbin), Lemmy, Tildes… I hear Mastodon had a user spike. Is there something obvious I’m missing?

I ask because I haven’t felt the same mass of users that Reddit had. Obviously users have spread out, servers have been hammered, UIs have a learning curve and so on… But there might be other alternatives I haven’t looked at that are worth that look.

    Ditto on the last point. I understand other Fediverse platforms like Mastodon and such should just work with others like Kbin/Lemmy, but the UI’s are so massively different. So I’ve went with the idea of having separate accounts. One for my existing Mastodon instance and one here on Kbin. To me it feels like the best way to manage it.

    As a bonus to all of this, I should be able to easily follow my Kbin account and boost posts over on Mastodon if needed once federation is all sorted.

      One additional plus to using kbin over Lemmy is there’s no “Microblog” feature on Lemmy. So if you follow Mastodon accounts on Lemmy, you won’t see anything. Whereas if you follow Mastodon accounts on kbin, their posts will come in as Microblogs!

        and everything is still being developed. the fediverse experience is going to be better and better.
