Not that I’m complaining; nice to not be inundated with beans.

I’d assume with federation the active posts would mostly be the same on both.

Edit: I think it may partly have to do with how voting works differently between Lemmy and Kbin.

    /kbin just has better algorithms. It’s why I switched from Lemmy. I have the exact same set of subscriptions on both ends, but my subscription feed on /kbin just felt way more balanced.

    Only issue I’ve noticed is that /kbin doesn’t seem to respect pinned posts in Lemmy communities.

    Also, what was that bean thing? I just saw it emerge and disappear without anyone discussing why. Even the posts asking about that were either left unanswered or riddled with memey answers.

      Someone made a post that said, “I heard people on Lemmy will upvote anything, let’s see if that’s true.” It was a can of beans and did indeed get upvoted. Then everyone just ran with it and made memes.

      The national bean council just discovered social media. They really want us to consume some plant based protein. It’s bean a long time since we heard from them.

        So yeah, this right here is what I’m talking about. The only type of response you’ll find on Lemmy.

      Inside jokes are basically the default lifeline when you’re desperate to say something but you have nothing really to say.

      Users have to arrive first and then quality content follows. I think we’re witnessing an awkward stage where the user base is getting large but the content is still in the process of catching up.

    Assuming it works the same way on Kbin as it does on Lemmy, and that you’re talking about your All feed rather than just your subscriptions:

    You’ll be seeing posts from the communities and magazines your instance already knows about. Which, at least on Lemmy, means at least one person from your instance has subscribed to them (it may or may not be a different metric on Kbin, not sure).

    Given that it’s easier to search for Kbin magazines on Kbin, I expect there are a lot of things people on your instance sub to that people on lemmy.world do not, and vice versa. Hence, different feeds.

    There’ll also be differences in the algorithms for what counts as “active” or “hot” or whatever on each software.

      I haven’t checked, but I assume a lot of these communities would have already been manually added to Kbin.social due to popularity (youshouldknow, ask, memes, tech, etc.)

        At this point it would have to be a pretty small instance to not have the community on here already.

    Lemmy is starting to feel like a social media advertising wing of…something. There is NO REASON for such massive amounts of people to talk it up like they’re doing.

    It’s very weird.
