/r/kbinMigration created.... and quickly banned by reddit

BreadDog@kbin.social to Reddit@lemmy.ml – 5 points –

I took a quick look while it was up and it was just a user guide, similar to the lemmymigration subreddit

Is there any advantages to kbin over lemmy? php seems like a much worse tech stack for no benefit.

Kbin is nice. It’s easy to register on kbin.social so might as well check it out, although they are possibly under DDOS attack right now. I’m on there and lemmy at the moment.

Both systems are very similar and are compatible. You can follow lemmy from kbin and vice versa. Lemmy is probably more mature, but kbin is also pretty slick and seems to be moving fast. The community on kbin.social is fairly large so you will likely find more interaction on there without having to subscribe to federated servers. That probably makes onboarding a little easier for reddit refugees. They also have a microblog feature that works like Mastodon (federated twitter alternative) so you get to use lemmy-like and mastodon-like in one app and federate with both.

The fact that kbin is written in PHP shouldn’t put anybody off. Modern PHP isn’t the same as the old stuff that earned a bad reputation. I haven’t used PHP for a long time, but my understanding is it’s now a solid stack that’s on par with other mainstream stacks.

Honestly, I joined lemmy.ml first before really taking a look at the ideals of most of that userbase and I just do not agree with a large part of what they identify with.

Bounced around to a few other instances that all seemed... Idk not the right fit. But kbin so far seems much more my style and I finally now got an account created so we'll see how it goes.

I'm curious what has turned you off here, since I'm very new. Reddit's weirdly right wing political tilt has been turning me off for some time now, hoping that's not the case here.

Also new, and I'm with you- reddit was always too full of right wingers for my liking. I also like this instance (lemmy.ml)and it seems to have a more left tilt, specifically when it comes to bigotry.

It looks like the Lemmy devs might have some IRL issues.
