I have been thinking which of the two should i use. If i understand fully i can still browse lemmy instances on kbin. And i can even check out mastodon users on it.
If this is the case, why would anyone choose lemmy instead of kbin? I assume there must be another aspects i don’t know of?
I think it comes down to personal preference. Like messaging apps - iMessage, WhatsApp, telegram, Facebook messenger etc etc. They all send messages. As long as you have someone’s phone number you can message them on whichever app you prefer.
My family use WhatsApp, my in laws use telegram, I use iMessage. There’s no rhyme or reason to it, it’s just what people prefer in terms of UI, privacy etc.
