  • I’m with you. I don’t like the default Lemmy UI at all, but it’s the most feature-complete as far as I can tell. I was a longtime Apollo user, so while Voyager feels similar at first glance it’s mostly skin-deep. Kbin really does a great job with the look and feel, but there are a lot of frustrating bugs. I believe the dev has Been Going Through Some Shit (per his posts in kbinMeta) and I do not begrudge him taking care of personal life before a side project that blew up over the summer. So the result is that I mostly browse with kbin and switch to Lemmy if I need to do more than a text reply.







  • So, a little backstory… kbin bugs out a lot when trying to post to a federated instance. Error messages when things went through fine, no error messages but nothing shows up on the host instance, error message with nothing on the host but still seeing upvotes/interaction (???) from my profile page. So I finally got around to creating an alt account and posting the above. The concept was a literal shower thought, the image put together while I was falling asleep, and the title after I had already fallen asleep multiple times and dropped my phone on my face. (I seriously couldn’t think of anything good and went with the next semi-coherent thought.) Thanks Stamets for the template!
