Thanks for this! Not sure why I never actually bothered to look into other kbin instances.

I wish kbin had other instances....
Easy to find a lot for Mastodon however. Is there a migration guide to transfer accounts somewhere?

[–] bron@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Agreed. They're not even the same genre!

MySpace...that's a name I haven't heard muttered in years...

Wow checking out the site now, Calckey/Firefish looks great. Is this meant to be another Fediverse replacement for Twitter?

Thanks for sharing! There is also a video that covers Outlook
Though I also found this variant better for my needs.

[–] bron@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Agreed. I think one of the main deciding factors starting out here was the availability of mobile apps. Seems Lemmy already has a handful while kbin only has the mobile web for now and an application is only in a closed beta at the moment.

My guess is that each platform will have its own smaller names applied to it (e.g. kbinners, lemmites, etc.) and each variant will be interchangeable, then as things settle down and the dust clears, there would be a more common, less "exclusive" name like "posters" as someone mentioned. The email comparison comes to mind, we don't go around calling each other "gmailers" or "outlookers", but addresses or emails.

True, but I was more speaking on the ability for the API to create new threads, comments, or magazines. This would definitely accelerate the adoption of the platform, not to mention open up the gates for more mobile applications to be developed. IMO that is one of the main things holding everyone back from migrating to kbin given that most Reddit users were on mobile.

Tomb Raider (the recent trilogy) is right up that alley.

Same observation I made here too. Seems like the API for kbin is still being developed.
