I may have a user bias, but I think KBin is already started down that path, of actually making a usuable platform for both communities and users. Unlike say Lemmy that doesn't even really let you follow individual users, and Mastodon, which lets you follow Lemmy Communities, but its hard to follow threads because every post just looks like a Re-Toot by the community "user"

Then again Friendica is pretty nice too, it treats Lemmy communities just as if they are Friendica Forums, and it supports other platforms in addition to ActivityPub, including Diaspora*, and allows for integration with Email, Calendar, etc. with several very different "themes" to choose from, with the default, Firo(?), being a UI ver similar to the world's most popular social media platform, Facebook.

The good thing about Free Software is you are never at the mercy of a single provider. If you and your friends like Lemmy, you can always use lemmy. The amount of content might not be what it once was, but you are welcome to use and change, or pay someone else to let you use/change, the service forever. (Like pump.io used to be the whole #Fediverse and now identi.ca is little more than a internet graveyard save me 4 bots, and six people that cross post to Mastodon, but even it may come back now that /u/@evan indicated he's adding ActivityPub to it now that its all the rage.

if they do, you can just folow them for here right? Or does lemmy.world have less features than kbin.social?

WTF said anything about wanting gun control?

I mean, the url literally contains shit.

welcome to the fediverse! Before you get "locked in" to a particular instance, take a look at your other choices and pick one that you might fit better in. https://fediverse.observer

well that instance is run by like one dude out of his mom's basement and his server wasn't ready for the influx

I'm not certain who would be willing to take the risk to host an instance that includes /c/gonewildcurvy or /m/gonewild though gonewildstories probably has less of a chance you'd endup in a cage because of what someone else posted that lived on your server.

centralized markets have a pretty poor track record

huh what? when did this happen?
