It’s an OK article but would’ve liked Max to be a little kinder in terms of an explanation as to why both Lemmy and KBin are at the state they’re currently in.
Six weeks ago, the two dev teams (and for KBin that was one person) were writing code for barely used platforms. Now all of a sudden, the code they’re writing is catering to over a million people across hundreds of instances. This is Alpha software so of course some tools and documentation are missing. These two dev teams have been in fire-fighting mode for the last few weeks I expect. There’s no large dev teams here, no billionaire backers able to throw money at an issue.
The article was good overall but it would’ve been better if there’d been an explanation offered as to how they’re being developed and why some features are not in place yet.
This reminds me, I should donate “a cup of coffee” to Ernest again. Where was that link…
I like this article, it’s nice seeing a detailed look into Lemmy and Kbin instead of the usual “wHaT iS aN InStAnCe? FeDeRaTiOn iS sO cOnFuSiNg!1!!”
The article is very good, and explains some things about federation and the difference between lemmy and kbin. All in all a good introduction.

Both Lemmy and Kbin users can see each other’s content. This is the beauty of Fediverse
