A blog post I made about my experience on Kbin, what I like about it, and some of the challenges I still face in using it. Any feedback would be appreciated as someone who is still new to blogging. Thanks.

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.

Now, using sync, and lemmy tools on the desktop, the lemmy experience is excellent.

I do think KBin has a better user interface and the extra Mastodon integration is awesome, but it's just too rough to be used as a daily driver unfortunately.

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.
