Anyone else moved from kbin to lemmy?
Anyone else moved from kbin to lemmy?
I noticed that kbin has stalled in development recently and the ongoing problems with federation etc. made me use it even less for the past few weeks. I even spent more time on reddit than here.
Today, I decided to give my abandoned lemmy account a try and see how that goes.
As many others, I disliked the UI of lemmy, compared to kbin, but soon enough found this one https://p.lemmy.world and it's been very smooth so far.
So yeah ... hello from the other side of the fence 🍷
You're viewing a single thread.
I personally recommend https://a.lemmy.world if you're going to use an alternative frontend.

You can use Alexandrite regardless of instance by using the official webpage for it: https://alexandrite.app/ . That's what I'm using right now.
You'd add your instance link after the /, so in your case it's https://alexandrite.app/feddit.uk . You'll automatically be redirected if you log in anyways though, which is nice.

We run them! Cole set them up and I try to keep them updated ASAP based on GitHub alerts.
- Photon - p.lemdro.id
- Alexandrite - a.lemdro.id
- Voyager - m.lemdro.id
- Mlmym - old.lemdro.id
Right? Alexandrite is the best UI to me too. Its best feature is you don't have to change page while opening posts. It just opens in one side of the page.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Alexandrite is what the reddit redesign should have been. It's just a shame that the company didn't give one single shit about actually making a user friendly desktop experience.
wow alexandrite looks beautiful
Old habits die hard for me and I'm glad they've got mlmym on https://old.lemmy.world, it's my default on the desktop now
If anyone is doing the same and misses the community bar customisation from RES, I cobbled together a little userscript to do this
Hopefully someone else finds it useful too
