It is pretty cool. Unfortunately, they don't have enough developers to meet the sudden demand caused by the #RedditMigration , but hopefully they will work out the bugs and other issues, and get more funding for better hosting.On Kbin a message board is called a "magazine," which is similar to a "SubReddit" or a Lemmy "Community". The URL for a magazine is /m/<NAME>, so for example: /m/fediverse or /m/emacs.
Within each "magazine" you have 3 subsections. The Threads, which are posts created by subscribers, the People (/m/<NAME>/people), which shows profiles of all contributors to the "magazine", and the Microblog (/m/<NAME>/microblog) which lets members participate in Mastodon-like posting, kind of like members of a "local" Mastodon instance.
I also kind of like the user interface a bit better. I think if Kbin works out the rough edges, I would prefer that over ordinary Mastodon or Lemmy as it combines the best of both.
