I like that kbin is smaller compared to some lemmy instances. I also prefer the UI. Bigger communities tend to feel a bit overwhelming for me.

I like that Kbin has microblog, tags feature. With that I can browse mastodon content easily.
Another one is filter posts by type, for example If I want only Threads (text only).

The things I doesn't like are mirror but:

  • no third party apps (yet?)
  • search function could be better (no advanced search, and different buttons for magazine/posts search)
  • upvote vs boost is confusing

For apps, Artemis exists, but only works on artemis.camp until the API is official, but you can grab it and check it out. Pretty sweet already.

Upvote means "I like what you said and want you to know it".
Boost means "I like what you said and want others to see it too!". Think of it like a re-tweet or whatever it's called on Mastodon (re-toot?).
