  • I have a Wooting keyboard myself. It’s an amazing keyboard for writing, casual usage and gaming.

    If you play any games using analog input, like racing games, it’s the best you can get next to a controller.

    Also, the keyboard does not need any weird software running in the background, you do all settings and firmware updates on their website, without installing anything.

    Lemmy is more of a Reddit alternative, where you have the focus on communities/categories (similar to “subreddits”) to which you can subscribe to, while Mastodon is more a Twitter alternative, focusing on users to follow.

    Kbin is actually slightly special.

    It is also running on the Fediverse network, but can communicate with multiple other services. Meaning, it can show you content from all Lemmy instances (called Threads) and content from Mastodon (called Microblog). You can see this thread there as well.

    By using Kbin, you have access to both worlds, Lemmy and Mastodon. In addition, it supports even more of the so-called “ActivityPub” services, like Pleroma or Peertube.

    While I love the implementation of Kbin, it still has small hiccups here and there - it feels less reliable/stable. Some content isn’t fully updated, like this post missing most of the comments at the time I posted this. They even warn you about it: “The magazine from the federated server may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.”

    I had the best experience so far by using a Lemmy instance for Lemmy and a Mastodon instance for Mastodon. Waiting for Kbin to be more mature.



  • This is a critical feature missing. Especially considering when one instance goes down, so does your account.

    If announced, we should be able to easily transfer the account.

    But an instance might also go down unannounced (especially now with so many hosting instances just for fun or to experiment with it).

    While in such a case your posts and comments on this local instance will be gone, there needs to be a way to recover your account on another instance with all your posts and comments made on other instances still connected to your account, being editable or deletable.
