I know there is a bit of drama surrounding lemmy right now, but in my opinion, kbin isn’t really mature enough to self host. They don’t have a good Docker environment yet, and it’s fairly manual.
Conversely, hosting Lemmy is pretty much effortless if you understand the basics of Docker. And their docs are at least decent too.
Lemmy is FOSS so I don’t really think the political views of the developers have much impact.
Anything I can read about the Lemmy drama?
Honestly, I’m not sure. I keep seeing people talk about “political views of the lead dev,” and I see this a LOT, but no one has stepped up to actually explain what they’re talking about. If you find it, I’d appreciate a link or something. I’m sure it’s there, I’m just too lazy to go digging.
I’ve only seen it mentioned a few places, but I saw people complaining about Lemmy in general being too leftist / communist. I don’t know if that’s true, and I don’t think it matters either way, but that’s the “drama” that I’ve seen.
Seems to be people upset about non-mainstream takes on the Russia/Ukraine war and China Uyghur stuff from what I’ve seen.
I’m sure they were equally concerned and principled when it came to the political views of the Reddit admins.

Thank you - I didn’t see that coming and it’s downright hilarious!
Thanks. There was some good discussion there and highlights why a public modlog is very important to evaluate the health of any Lemmy instance.
I’ve been wavering back and forth for a little bit. I just know the kbin plays nicer with lemmy than lemmy plays nice with kbin when it comes to discovering remote communities. Being a remote community, I wanted to make sure it’s easier to be off site, but I did just find an easier install with lemmy (I will try this) so we’ll see how that goes
