The Kbin Experience. The Best Worst Way to Interact with the Fediverse.
Introduction I have a very unhealthy addiction to the internet. It probably wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the majority of my 20s were spent in front of Youtube and Reddit. Reddit dr…

I, too, preferred KBin to lemmy. I created my communities there and ultimately spun up my own instance. With all the problems, I finally gave up on it and ended up spinning up a lemmy instance. With the Advent of Sync for lemmy, it was the right decision.

Hopefully it'll get better one day, because I prefer Kbin too. I was having way too many federation issues though.
If you haven't already, check out alexandrite and photon. Both are outstanding alternative UIs to Lemmy and dramatically improve the UI/UX in my opinion.
I'm not seeing how to use a difference instance with photon? I don't use lemmy.ml
Change the "instance URL" to the instance you use. In your case, you would input showeq.com.
I'll soon make it so that you can change guest instance without logging in.
