I’m a bit confused with my options here. I am looking at Reddit alternatives and see a lot of people flocking to lemmy but it seemed like kbin was the more centrist option?
Apparently lemmy was set up by a tankie and has some CCP propaganda and other problematic background?

I have accounts with both and definitely seems like kbin is struggling compared to lemmy but that could just be because lemmy is better established? What are people’s thoughts?
Thanks this does make sense obviously and you seem to know what your talking about so I’ll ask this:
Am I right that searching for a kbin community/magazine on Lemmy, or vice versa, will only pull in new posts on that community as well?
For example I just searched for the home assistant community on kbin and found nothing local, so it pulled up the lemmy home assistant community, “great!” I thought, but when I go to look at the posts it shows a number of posts,but not the actual posts, instead directing me to go to the original source to view old posts. In that instance then I am taken directly to lemmy from kbin and can’t post using my kbin account. This seems like a bit of a limitation of the federated community if you want to take part in historical/existing threads on another server.
