        There are server issues where like if more than a minute (iirc) goes by from you loading up a page - while you read the whole thing, plus comments too - then you try to reply, it will not go through. Or if you reply to one person and then try to reply to another, same thing. Most often, refreshing the page seems to solve it for me. So like you can write in an external editor, refresh the page, THEN submit the reply. Kbin/Lemmy lacks “polish”, that is for sure - it is undeniable that Reddit’s UX is better, even if everything else about that company can go to hell.

        Or if you are using an app, that would be a whole other matter that I do not know about, but I hope this suggestion helped!:-)

          Thanks! Yeah I am using Liftoff on android. I’ll be able to reply to anyone else in the same moment, but if they have a kbin name it just fails instantly. Idk it’s weird it worked for you tho. Oh well. Things will smooth out over time.

            I iz spethial (apparently:-)

            Edit: oh, I wonder if there actually might a thing about the person who originally submitted a thread, vs. others who did not? That bug might treat the OP differently.

      Kbin is federated with Lemmy though, so it is sort of indirectly included…ish. I can see and interact with communities on kbin instances from Lemmy, like this one

        It’s federated with Lemmy, yea, but it has a completely different layout with different features. I can straight up browse and interact with Mastodon from /kbin thanks to its microblog support, but you obviously wouldn’t say /kbin is included in Mastodon. I think that the same goes for Lemmy.

        Also, /kbin doesn’t get a mention but beehaw (a Lemmy instance) does?

          Right - that’s the weird part, if beehaw is being mentioned, then kbin should have as well, alongside Lemmy. Maybe someone will write to the author and complain about the imprecision:-). In the meantime, at least this gives us a glance at how people far away from the situation see it - those of us on kbin are on “Lemmy”, or something. :-P

          It is strange that they mention beehaw which is now largely defederated but not kbin which isnt. I suspect whoever wrote that article is less knowledgeable than I am on the subject, which is to say they know nothing at all about it - I’ve only been using Lemmy less than a month

            I suspect you are very correct:-P.

            Articles that mention kbin though are extremely few and far between. I think I’ve only seen it twice actually - I just posted one of them separately, and there the author does mention it while explaining basically that Lemmy is better.

            Kbin is like this best non-Lemmy fediverse instance that you’ve never heard of, for the average person:-).

        Big brain move time. Is there a way to get only high-quality content providers while keeping out low-effort stuff? Ofc that would knock me out too - who would ever want to be a member of a club that would actually accept us? :-P
