So why do you perfer Kbin over Lemmy?

3 years ago by Samantha E Xavia to c/AskKbin

I have most of the Fediverse-based account and seem to have just gravitated towards Lemmy over Kbin as found it very confusing, What makes you prefer Kbin over Lemmy or any other Fediverse instances?

I have kbin and beehaw(lemmy) and honestly every time I go to Beehaw, it errors out, serverside 50x errors. Sometimes I get a few link clicks, it's just so erratic. I know I need to try joining another instance, but I liked that one when it was accessible lol. kbin has been solid for me, so usually I lurk here. I know other lemmy instances must be stable, I just haven't tried them because kbin works for me.

That is completly fair enough, I personally find Lemmy.world stable but some other people don't seem to have the same expereince. My guess is because of the location of the server.

Honestly, I feel bad for whining about it, because it seems to be working today fine. I am sure other instances are doing alright, I see enough Lemmy posts federated to know it's not like... systemic... so I should have tried more before complaining. It's just my personal experience with the one I joined.

With the option, I find myself having both beehaw and Kbin tabs open with little preference for either, which you'd think is redundant with federation, but idk. I do like that if one is down, there is a chance another is up.

That’s more beehaw than general lemmy. They are struggling with scaling.
