dirtmayorLemmy, Kbin shoutout from Lifehacker: The Four Best Reddit Alternatives
Nice! Checking out KBin is in my to-do list, along with Mastodon and Matrix, going to be a fun weekend, ha.
I've been liking KBin a lot, I definitely recommend checking it out.
riktorIt’s been fun for me to exploring it. Still getting a feel for how it works but so far I’m enjoying kbin.
SuiXi3DGood news, kbin is like all those wrapped into one.
WaffleFriendsHello from kbin! It's great over here
exscapeI'm reading and replying to your comment on Kbin. The fediverse is fun.
AnarchoGravyBoat@exscape That's probably the wildest thing I'm finding about all of this. Reading that as the top comment, from kbin.social.
Hello from /c/lemm.ee :)
Lemmy does not have upvote and downvote buttons
But… it does?
Depends on the instance. Lemmy.One has downvoting turned off, for example.
(edit) Also, there are differences between posts and stories/blogs on the fediverse. On the stories/blogs you get an option to favorite/boost instead of upvote or downvote.
And since Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon all deal with it in slightly different ways, maybe they just got confused.
as a longtime mastodon user, tech articles about the fediverse are often very confused and under researched. it’s like tech reporters take one look at the websites and their brains shut off- if they ever even looked at them to begin with.
Jcb2016Kbin is everything wrapped into one. Threads = Post like Reddit, Microblogging = Like Twitter/Mastodon Magazines = Subreddits. Everything is perfect!
delmainYou say perfect, but my perfect platform doesn't have microblogging at all, so that feature missing would be the best.
My point being that perfect is subjective
I don't think being a super-app is a positive tbh.
I'd rather go to different spaces for different things
I’m on Beehaw, kbin, and Mastodon.
Wanted to try tildes, but found it wasn’t to my liking. However out of all of them, I prefer Beehaw/Lemmy.
Tildes is another website trying to be the new Reddit.
Tildes is very much not trying to be a new Reddit. And certainly not the new Reddit.
Tildes has a clear vision for itself as a mature forum for long text-based discussions, with the trappings of a link aggregator.
There are no image posts (although posts may link to an image), and memes and shitposting are discouraged at best. There are also no user-created communities (subreddits) at this time - although there may be in the future.
If you enjoy old-style discussion forums, you'll probably enjoy Tildes - but it's certainly not trying to compete with Reddit, Lemmy, kbin, or anything else. It's doing it's own thing.
Adella1961I’m trying out Kbin, Sh.tjust.works, Mastodon and Beehaw. Time will tell which one becomes the front runner.
I use Mastadon as a Twitter replacement, even though it still can see other content. I like how there's not an apparent algorithm--it's all chronological and feels less pandering to what it thinks I want to see.
As for Reddit alternatives, I'm happy with Beehaw and Kbin. I hope they both stick around.
How are you gonna say “Four best” and name only THREE?!
