I feel like Lemmy has more content, probably because it’s been around longer, so it’s a good base to build from.
I’m also giving an answer to the other thread on Kbin, since I think there are good reasons to use that one as well. They’re both solid, and I’m using both regularly–often viewing posts from one service on the other. For me, it’s “yes AND,” not “no BUT.”
Lemmy federates with Kbin, so yeah, it can access the same content for sure. I just mean that, given the length of time Lemmy has been around, there was an existing community of regulars who were already posting heavily on Lemmy servers by the time Kbin started taking off. But yeah, thanks to federation, it doesn’t really matter where the content is originally shared as long as Lemmy and Kbin can both access it.

Genuine question here, how can Lemmy have more content if it’s all federated? Wouldn’t Kbin, despite being much younger, have all the same content?
