Thinking of leaving Lemmy for kbin or mbin to have Mastodon integration. Mastodon is my favorite place in the fediverse and it looks like kbin/mbin will allow me to interact with EVERYTHING under one account rather than have a Lemmy and Mastodon account.

I prefer Kbin. It has the latest features (magazine collections, an aggregate view that combines threads and microblog posts, more options, etc.) , and I really like the developer @ernest. Aside from just being cool, he posts frequent updates over on @kbinDevlog.
Something worth noting is that Kbin doesn’t have many instances. Kbin.social is the main one, and the only other decently up-to-date one I know of is kbin.earth, run by the creator of the Interstellar app for Kbin. On the other hand, Mbin has more instances, as most established Kbin instances switched to it at the time it was created (during which Kbin development had been inactive for about a month). Also, Mbin has a more community-oriented development system tmk, whereas Kbin development is closely managed by Ernest.
Hey cool I’m replying to myself via my brand new kbin account! Your comment about having an All Content option combining maga and micros made up my mind for me!
Welcome! Yeah, the All Content view is great — probably my favorite feature added in the past few months. I have my home page set to Subscriptions (All Content), and it’s the best. I see threads from my favorite magazines and microblog posts on tech & fediverse stuff.
Quick question… is kbin.social having upload issues at the moment? I’m on mobile and I can’t seem to get an image to upload to my microblog post.
Kbin.social has just had some big issues recently and still hasn’t fully recovered (which is why development is currently stalled), so it’s absolutely possible you’ll run into more issues currently than usual. Not sure if what you’re experiencing there is part of that though.
