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 thought this was going to be a thread debating the merits of the two disc formats, and I’m disappointed that it’s not. :(
I know that particular format war didn’t last very long, but I wonder if there’s anything HD-DVD ended up doing better than Blu-Ray.
As for the actual topic of this thread, I’m not sure if it’s the right analogy. Blu-ray and HD-DVD were incompatible with one another, while Kbin and Lemmy are mostly compatible. I’m not entirely sure what to compare it to, maybe Linux vs. BSD?
