    FWIW, I’m exploring Reddit alternatives right now… Created a user account on a Lemmy instance, found the web interface clunky and counterintuitive. And now I created a kbin.social account, and I find it’s MUCH better. Just feels smoother and easier to use. I can get around clunky, unfinished UX, but I know it’s a barrier to entry for a lot of people.

    Now, if kbin.social had an Android app, that’d seal the deal 100%. But I understand it’s in the works!

      The kbin webpage isn’t too bad once you change some of the default settings. I also have a lemmy user and Jerboa but much prefer kbin.

      Considering I barely knew about the fediverse a week ago I’m pretty optimistic about it all.

      Same. I’ve tried many options, but Kbin has the most appealing UI.
      Perhaps because it’s visually similar to old reddit, but I just can’t get used to the other ones.
      My only pet peeve is that media thumbnails show some kind of random “middle-of-the-image” cut.
