Tbf you can see some kbin stuff from lemmy either through desktop or a mobile app, but Sync for Lemmy is planned to have kbin support too, but we’ll see.

you realize that some instances ARE problematic even if you have access to the entire federated content from it.

Personally I needed reassurance that an instance at least appears to be committed into fighting hate speech, especially as a gay guy

and Kbin presents a front that feels easier to grasp when you’re not familiar with the concept of the Fediverse

As a similarly sorta-but-not-super-techie guy, I agree. Kbin nailed the presentation of the Fediverse by introducing a UI and experience that is remarkably similar to Reddit. For that reason alone I hope Kbin comes out as the most successful (or at least viable) alternative.
