I like that kbin is smaller compared to some lemmy instances. I also prefer the UI. Bigger communities tend to feel a bit overwhelming for me. I also appreciate how transparent Ernest has been regarding kbin's development. That said, it's been a bit challenging to figure out how to utilize some of the federation features that kbin has to offer--microblogging in particular. From what I've seen, people don't generally seem too interested in this feature, but I think it's nice to have.

The only thing I wish was 1 click less is viewing images/videos.

When you want to check out an image/video post, there's a little icon to the left of the comments underneath the title of the post. You can click on that to view the image/video without needing to open the thread. :)

You can even have it setup to autoload expanded. Check the sidebar.

Sidebar not available on mobile, right?

It is, but getting to it is...weird.

Wish there was one for text posts though!

I agree, one will probably come in time.
