I agree, at least on mobile. I tried both and Lemmy feels like the natural alternative. Kbin reminds me more of old Reddit in UI, but Lemmy reminds me of Apollo UI.

That's why Kbin feels more like Reddit to me. I was always using old on desktop, and RiF on-the-go.

Yeah that makes sense! I feel like this is why the fediverse might actually work especially well during this battle, being that the battle is literally “everybody uses the site differently and now all of the ways you love to use the site are going away” (obviously not old Reddit but you get the picture)

Old Reddit is 100% slated for execution.

The admins just haven't given a date.

At least one of them must actively be using it. There is no way it has survived all this time otherwise.

Fair, I only ever used slide for reddit until it started getting glitchy and refused to show gifs a year or so ago, then used sync. Lemmy has a great mobile UI very reminiscent of the old 3rd party reddit apps

Boost was my favorite when I was on Android. I think the only thing I miss are gestures to vote and collapse comments, but the controls are set up well enough to make it a non issue. Props to the lemmy devs

the mlem app is so close to Apollo! I hope we can get something like it for kbin
