    I’m new to Lemmy and kbin, so these points may be more a me-thing than a Lemmy/kbin-thing, but from what I can see:

    • Accessing Lemmy content from kbin is pretty seamless, but it’s difficult to access kbin from Lemmy.

    • kbin’s integration with Mastodon/microblogging fediverses is neat.

    • kbin seems to have more magazines catering to more of my specific interests and hobbies, while Lemmy’s communities are more generic.

    • This is specific to the instance I am on (beehaw.org), but I can’t access the Lemmy instance when I’m using ProtonVPN.

    • I just read through the Mastodon thread on how the Lemmy developers are not consistent with their own policies of human rights. While that doesn’t automatically mean that Lemmy is bad, I feel more comfortable using software by developers who are not known to be “tankies”.

      it’s difficult to access kbin from Lemmy.

      How is this difficult? I came across this thread through Lemmy, and I’m writing this response from Lemmy. Kbin magazines and threads show up in the search results in Lemmy, and subscribing, voting and replying work just the same as for other Lemmy communities.

      Ex) It’s easy to access [email protected] from kbin by going to https://kbin.social/m/[email protected], but I couldn’t find a way to access https://kbin.social/m/Amsterdam from beehaw

      Could this be an effect of beehaw defederating from some other sites? I didn’t think kbin was included, but they are known to have cut their links to some other Lemmy instances.
