  • It’s interesting to see people talking about bots flooding some communities with content and others saying there’s not enough.
    I created a bot, not to bring posts and comments from reddit but to use reddit as content curator, to bring links that were engaging there on to here.
    However some people think theres a difference between users making a post with just a link to a news article or a bot doing it.
    I think there’s a use for bots, when the content they bring is external to both reddit and lemmy, and discussion around it is organic.










  • There’s multiple things to consider, both are great options, but right now I’m liking kbin more for these reasons:

    • Better algorithm, when I go to my homepage I feel that the site is full of new, active content, where people are having discussions.
    • Integration with Mastodon, I like to take a peek from time to time on the Microblog tab.
    • No feed bug. Lemmy has a problem where it would show every single new post on top of the feed (I know this is being fixed)

    Overall both Lemmy and kbin are in their infancy and I expect both to get better to a point where choosing between them won’t come down to which one of the two have less bugs, and more focused in the features and appearance you want, this ofc will change with the many apps being developed, since they will be vastly different.
    I might end up in Lemmy or I might stay on kbin, it depends which one feels more “active” to me.
