What's the benefit of using Kbin over Lemmy? - eviltoast

I see a very small minority of people using Kbin, but I don’t understand why.

Is this just a coincidence and did some people choose Kbin over Lemmy or is there a good reason to use Kbin?

    It’s like lemmy + mastodon - you can microbilor and boost posts and comments. But after using it for a while, I switched back to lemmy because:

    • it has no API AFAICT the API is read-only, so there aren’t any apps (the dev is making one but I don’t think it’s finished and can’t compile it)
    • it has some performance issues
    • it doesn’t work sometimes
    • the UI looks worse
    • there are way less instances of it
    • it’s written in php instead of rust
