Many are turning to Lemmy as a viable Reddit alternative. Here is how to use your existing Mastodon account with Lemmy.

    Thanks very much for your informative reply. Yeah I’m hoping that lemmy adds the functionality to follow people, though I might sign up to Kbin and see how that side fairs out for me. Kbin does seem to have slightly better fediverse integration.

      What i’ve noticed is that each one is lacking something. I kind of like the layout of lemmy a bit more, but it doesn’t have the same capability of following people or communities from all over, and I don’t think you can follow users at all like in kbin and Mastodon. But kbin doesn’t have any way that I can find to save posts, which is something use a lot.

        Oh that’s interesting as in Lemmy you can save posts and comments. I can across an app called fedilab which integrates Mastodon, pixelfed, and a couple other fediverse…communities/instances?, Not sure what they’re known as, across one account. If that app manages to integrate Lemmy/Kbin it would a game changer for me.

        Is Kbin just a web app or do you know if there are any Android apps that access Kbin?

          I don’t think there’s an app-app yet. I’ve read on here that kbin is fairly new, while lemmy has been around a lot longer.

          There aren’t any kbin apps yet, but there are a few in development. The one furthest along is Artemis, and it’s in closed beta testing. @ArtemisApp
