Yeah, I have a kbin account as well, but I prefer Lemmy so far, since it actually has a data API and I prefer the web interface over that of kbin (and now we have old.lemmy.world!)
I am test driving Artemis for kbin, but Hariette and her team have an uphill battle until kbin comes up with an API, so development has been slow. Not their fault, of course.
The ace in the hole that Lemmy and kbin have is that it doesn’t matter which one you prefer because they can talk to each other. Can’t say the same about Squabbles.
I just don’t care for kbin’s interface. It definitely seems to be a love it or hate it type of thing. I like that Lemmy is trying to be more of a Reddit replacement, while kbin fans seem to like that it doesn’t feel like one.
BeeHaw gives me a toxic positivity vibe, so losing them from lemmy.world isn’t a big deal. I’d argue that they should not federate with anyone, but I can’t tell them what to do.

API is almost done! Been using an internal build of the app that uses Artemis’ kbin instance with those changes. And oh god is so much better 👌
So we’re nearing a point where apps for kbin will start popping up ✨
That’s great news!
The more options the better. For now Lemmy is good and the apps are progressing at an awesome pace, honestly didn’t expect that.

Oh yeah, until someone decides to pull a beehaw and defederate, that’s why I have a kbin account too, but haven’t had the need to use it that much.

Yeah, since Lemmy.world started to grow like a mf, I don’t miss beehaw very much tbh, it absolutely scratches that early reddit itch
TIL about old.lemmy.world, cool!
There’s also m.lemmy.world running Voyager (formerly wefwef).
Haha, that’s awesome! TIL
Wtf that’s awesome! Have they open sourced that?
EDIT: I found it https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym
my instance doesn’t have that thingy
