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.

I've found it a little tricky to find an instance that has a dedicated, transparent instance owner who doesn't disappear while making sure the instance doesn't throw 500 errors when you view certain pages. I started on Fedia which had tons of 500 errors when I tried to view my own profile or subscriptions, which seems to have gotten better, but still has intermittent issues.

Then I came to kbin.cafe, but it seems like the instance owner went poof, and I get 500 errors if I try to change my profile picture. I think most of this is because the software is still relatively early in development.

Otherwise it does feel as if Kbin is handling every other facet well, it's just early on and buggy and hard for instance owners to keep up.
