It's a new year — about 6 months since that Reddit migration occurred — and Kbin progressed a ton in 2023. What are your thoughts on it? How much value have you gotten out of it, and what would you like to see in the future?

I've been really enjoying it. I dabble into using microblogging but so far its just based on clicking on Active People to see what kind of things people post over there. So I can't say much about that aspect but I am glad that its available when I want to.

Its interesting for the forum sides hearing all of the Lemmy complaints that Kbin solves already like blocking or subscribing to entire instances. Same with the repeated early complaints about the default sorting of Lemmy. I am really starting to enjoy the different communities the entire federation system sets up with the exception of the million different politics subs. Everything else is starting to sorted into some large defaults for certain subjects. I am also a huge fan of large dedicated NSFW instance which allows people to either block or view. There are still some communities I miss (NativePlant gardening, Fantasy Football, etc.) that I don't feel strong enough to post about but like to view.

The only major complaints are quality of life which I assume are in the pipeline such as hiding things I have voted on or viewed. But overall I am happy especially since its not overly tailored to my interests. It lets me see other things I might be interested in since they are here. I have really gotten back into Star Trek thanks to its popularity here
