I prefer the UI of lemmy.world to Kbin, and it's been smoother for me as well. But I've got an account at both. Still haven't entirely made up my mind on which to make my "main".
This question is especially for people who have joined in the last week. Have you used other fediverse platforms or is this your first time really using one? What do you think of it so far? Are you aware that you can comment on Lemmy posts with a Mastodon account?
@Calcifer Reading can be free with a library card. I use Libby on my phone to check out books. But if you'd rather not have to wait for more popular releases, Amazon does have Kindle Unlimited. I think it's $12 per month, you can check out something like 10 books at a time.
Edit: I totally forgot about Scribd! Way better than Kindle Unlimited cause it has audibooks and Magazines too, for only $12 a month.
