Now that some time has passed, what do you like and dislike about kbin?
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'm a reddit refugee and as a non technical person I actually prefer kbin to reddit. It's nice and simple and I get all the content I need easily. The only thing I wish was 1 click less is viewing images/videos. At the moment I seem to have to click on a post to go to that posts page and then click on the image/video in that post to see it full size. I wish I could just go through my feed expanding and dismissing images and videos with 1 click without having to load a separate page. Kbin is awesome though and definitely my home for the foreseeable :)

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. :)
Oh my goodness! Thanks :D
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.
