I feel like KBin is one of those “we only show our magazines by default, but if you’re an advanced user or you want to explore the fediverse a bit more, we have that option too, and you can even subscribe to federated communities/magazines” type of sites in the fediverse.
The advantage Beehaw has is the way the communities are organized - so much neater than in other instances. Every community on there is a giant hub, making these communities more visible and active than what we see on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world, and to some extent kbin.
Like this one I’m on right now.
(Tbh, I’m surprised how much kbin and lemmy are compatible with one another despite using different codebases)
This would make sense… if Beehaw wasn’t invite-only.
Mastodon and Firefish have been good alternatives for me, not to mention, they’re part of the same fediverse as KBin
