I liked unified "new thread" button, as it would more clearly differentiate making a new thread and new note (microblog post). URL not being obligatory to a new post is then no more obvious and needs some hint, though.
More tightly knit communities will prefer showing Local feed, and Lemmy does that better, than /kbin. The options between local and federated feeds is not hidden and needs one click less, than on /kbin.

Wider layout, actually black text (compared to Lemmingish grey), and clearly distinguished boxes with comments. Plus several "skins", including solarized light and dark. Less eye strain.

I do wish there were more users here at kbin.social, though, as the federated feed is more lively on the large Lemmy instances.

kbin.social has more MAU (Monthly Active Users) now, than all Lemmy combined! That is of course effect of the spike this month and shall fade only on July, but did you already see activity on kbin.social alone fading?

Do you want to post events via /kbin? Yes, this is on a roadmap. Yes, Ernest plans to integrate with Mobilizon.

At some point they stopped playing whack-a-mole and imported some blocklist for Mastodon

This already works on /kbin, at least with WriteFreely.
Any blogpost from WriteFreely blog (if followed by someone on /kbin) is fetched and displayed as another thread. You can comment, up- and downwote, and also boost it. WriteFreely account does not see interactions, but they federate across instances, including Mastodon.
An example WriteFreely blogpost, and the same blogpost, but viewed on /kbin

Wordpress can also be compatible with the Fediverse, but all implementations so far (which I have seen) treat posts as "notes" = toots = microblog posts - to cope with Mastodon dominance.
