BTW I post news, articles, and video links most weekdays (and some days on the weekend) via #Kbin w/ @realcaseyrollins@kbin.projectsegfau.lt, and sometimes via #Lotide w/ @realcaseyrollins@narwhal.city. If you like newsbots or things of that ilk, feel free to follow those accounts!

@kingmongoose7877 I'll do a lil bit of testing from narwhal.city today, it runs #Lotide which I've found to be fairly stable for the most part. Please tell me if the issue pops back up when I post from there again

#Lemmy / #Lotide / #Kbin aren't better than #Reddit, but they're good enough for me to not really use #Reddit anymore

I'm so split with #Fediverse alternatives to #Reddit right now...I have been testing three software, all with their own pros and cons:

#Lotide: seamless federation with #Mastodon and #rebased, link posts show the links properly within the post, but federation with #Lemmy and #Kbin seems a bit limited, if technically functional, equating to not being able to see very much content from other #Lemmy and #Kbin instances

#Kbin: Quick, lightweight, link posts show up in the posts properly. and it federates with #Lemmy and #Mastodon quite well, but it is almost completely incompatible with #rebased (accounts will load, but posts will not)

#Lemmy: Great interface, vibrant community, federates with #Kbin, #Lotide, #Mastodon and #rebased, but link posts do not appear properly (they link to the post, not the link the post points to), and the software had a fairly considerable security vulnerability recently

To me, the dream software would be #Kbin that works with all #Fediverse software; full interoperability across the network is the only thing that it's truly missing.

@CSB It's a #Reddit alternative on the #Fediverse, much like #Lotide and #Kbin

@realcaseyrollins@kbin.projectsegfau.lt If I dig and find enough issues with federation, I'll be switching to #Lemmy. Poor federation is why I am looking for a #Lotide alternative in the first place.

From my first impressions of #Kbin, I'm disappointed by how poorly it federates, at least with #Mastodon, #Lotide and #Lemmy. No content I've posted from @realcaseyrollins@kbin.projectsegfau.lt is available to view anywhere else.

@kjr @alex No, I'll join an existing one.

I'm currently on narwhal.city, which is the current flagship #Lotide instance

@sab IDK. I have never had issues federating from #Mastodon to #Kbin, but always had issues federating from #Lotide to #Kbin.

@ademan #Kbin is a #Reddit alternative on the #Fediverse, like #Lemmy and #Lotide

https://kbin.social/

If I stop using #Lotide, should I switch to #Kbin, or #Lemmy?

Working on an article about #Lotide to post from @casey-magazine. I'm starting to get quite frustrated with its lack of federation, this time, with its lack of federation with #Kbin. Federation between #Kbin and #Lotide is quite literally non-existent.

@OneRedFox @amki Yep. There's #Kbin and #Lotide.

Hmm...the #Lemmy communities that I follow have gotten so busy that I'm thinking about unfollowing them from #Mastodon and #rebased. The problem is, I don't wanna do that if I can't follow them from #Lotide, which I can't do, at least from narwhal.city, as federation seems broken with at least #Beehaw.

Lack of, or patchy federation support for #Lemmy is slowly making me want to switch away from #Lotide again

I hate #Reddit-style gatekeeping as moderation, but I wouldn't mind it if paywalled links were banned from #Reddit alternatives like #Lemmy, #Lotide, or #Kbin.

Maybe I should make that a rule on all the #Lotide communities I run.

@kjr @fu IDK, but it definitely federates with narwhal.city (the #Lotide instance I use)

@raccoon @videos is a #Lotide community, and I think you should be able to use it like you would a #Lemmy or #Kbin community, or a #Reddit subreddit.

@Senokir In general they are, at the very least, hostile to folks who do so. It's a main reason I use #Lotide (via narwhal.city) rather than #Lemmy (although there are newer #Lemmy instances out there now that I'm considering joining eventually)

@risottobias @andypiper @saluki I've also seen #lotide get a mention but I can't seem to find any info on it.

I've been on Lemmy for a while, how is Kbin different? Or is it like what Plemora is to Mastodon?

@wjmaggos I mean, we do have #Lemmy, #Lotide, and another #Fediverse #Reddit alternative that I completely forgot the name of
