I kind of like kbin because of the familiar layout, but I just don't really understand how to use lemmy, even with reading the instructions. I expect to probably stay here more and more once the cloudflare debacle gets situated and phase out my reddit usage over time.
I mod on an smaller medium subreddit (100k+) that didn't go private, so I will probably open a magazine here for it, although I am getting tired of modding...it's been almost 4 years modding, 8 years on reddit.
Over ten years on Reddit and I never was tempted to be a moderator, always seemed a thankless job.
I'm in the same boat as you, still figuring this whole thing out. But it's starting to feel like this Lemmy thing could be the future for Reddit-type websites.
If Lemmy and Kbin could get together and have some kind of combined offspring, that would be good I think. I know they are both a part of the fediverse, but interacting between the two is problematic at best.
Lemmy is still using websocket vs REST API, and is pretty buggy, even on the less populated instances. It has potential and they are making progress though.
We're kind of "here at the beginning" right now, I think it's exciting :) I've been looking into the kbin code for a bit now, may look at Lemmy as well then, as I code websockets professionally. I'm liking this whole fediverse idea.
I nuked and deleted my main account already. I have an alt with zero posting history that I could conceivably use if I wanted to try and get more people to shift away from reddit, but I have no interest in going back for any other type of activity.
I have to go back tomorrow, because I need to see the state of the subreddit I moderate, and see if they want to continue the blackout indefinitely. But I've pretty much made peace with the fact that I'll be deleting my Reddit account at the end of the month.
Yes it'll be interesting to see which subreddits continue the blackout or not. But like you I'll be deleting my account at the end of the month as well.
