This is not an attempt to convert Lemmy users, nor is it a slight on Lemmy. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why Lemmy works better for some, and I love the fact that we not only have multiple choices, but multiple choices that allow us to interact with each other regardless! It's amazing. Lemmy is great, no shade.
With that said…
Why YSK: I see a lot of users posting frequent questions about Lemmy that are currently answered by kbin.
For example:
- The ability to block a whole domain, or subscribe to one
- The ability to subscribe to individual users
- A built-in search tool to find communities all over fedi (kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon groups, etc.) with an indication of how active they are
- Mitigation for the "tracking pixel" issue
I find that almost every day, I see Lemmy users asking about features and I think, "well, kbin does that." I think it would be worthwhile for more users to check into both platforms and decide which might be best for them.

Is this supposed to be some kind of joke I’m too millennial to understand? Not only do I not get the joke, it also appears racist as fuck? Someone please help me understand.
It is some kind of joke you don’t understand.
It is not racist.
Thanks for the detailed explanation, totally not vague or unhelpful. /s
Who said I was trying to be helpful?
I think they are comparing KPop (a Korean music genre) with KBin.
I prefer the interpretation where BIN = Buy It Now. So get into kbin now, basically.
