Why do all the reddit alternatives look ugly, except for kbin?

Lemmy is almost as old as Pixelfed but it's still hella complicated UX wise.

I think kbin could become the major contender once the dev can focus on that again.

Compared to lemmy, kbin is much easier to use IMO and it's so much newer and only developed by a single person, I have high hopes for it!

nostr:npub12tyk735v52ju032qahe3k2r520jlsujaem6xr8n0ex6u7eqj0anq59vnqc I'm just enjoying all the drama on /r/RedditAlternatives

nostr:npub12tyk735v52ju032qahe3k2r520jlsujaem6xr8n0ex6u7eqj0anq59vnqc it's why there are some really great mobile apps now for Lemmy ;-)

nostr:npub12tyk735v52ju032qahe3k2r520jlsujaem6xr8n0ex6u7eqj0anq59vnqc the whole unique premise of #kbin having magazines is just dumb. The interface is shiny, but I find it far more complicated. Regardless, it doesn’t even really matter for me 90% of the time anyway because I have several apps that represent the #Lemmy data in a way that looks almost identical to #Apollo.

The website interface is not going to drive the win or loss of a platform, it is the users, the content, and the app ecosystem.
