Imma start by prefacing that I like kbin way better so far.

But do you guys think they will continue to coexist long term or are we looking at an HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray scenario where only one will remain?

Just seems like they don’t play very nice. My lemmy community I created days ago still isn’t federating here. Furthermore it seems like kbin to lemmy federation is much slower and buggier than lemmy to lemmy and kbin to kbin federation.

Hard to sort by new bc sometimes lemmy posts are already off the first page by the time they federate. Sometimes stuff doesn’t federate at all. I’m almost to the point I feel like I need to have an account on each for browsing.

For the record I bought a HD-DVD player.

    I haven’t notice more problems with kbin to Lemmy federation than with kbin to kbin federation. They both seem to be having problems. I also don’t think the hd-dvd and blue-ray comparison is an apt analogy. Maybe it’s more like xbox vs playstation. They’re platforms rather than technologies (Lemmy and kbin both use the same activity pub technology) and while there are exclusives to each system there’s so much overlap that it hardly matters which one you buy from a content point of view
