The ones I've used enough to have an opinion on are Kbin Social (current one) and Lemmy World. Out of the two, I liked Kbin the most for being the most minimalist. Even if Kbin is the most unstable/beta forum of the two, I still prefer it over all the visual noise of Lemmy World.

I feel you, I like Kbin the most as well in terms of visuals and potential for integration. It's neat that you can browse what I think is Mastodon style posts, both Kbin and Lemmy/Beehaw have the capability. I think Kbin's is a little better right now though, as it looks like it has nested threads so there's context?

I'll try and show an example:

Here is Beehaws Technology community with the Comments tab selected - I'm not sure if this is all comments or "microblog" as it's called in Kbin. Permalink to c/technology

Here is Kbin's Tech magazine with the Microblog tab selected: Permalink to /m/tech/microblog

Again, if Beehaw's comments is just all comments then disregard, but either way I think it's pretty cool that if I have a Mastodon user I'm aware of, I can talk to them from a specific magazine. It's not perfect right now but it's pretty neat.

Ultimately though I use both for different reasons, the community here on Beehaw is much better but I get more variety from Kbin. Realistically I'm just using one and then the other lol
