It's a new year — about 6 months since that Reddit migration occurred — and Kbin progressed a ton in 2023. What are your thoughts on it? How much value have you gotten out of it, and what would you like to see in the future?

I've been on lemmy mostly since it's a bit more mature particularly in mobile usage, however I think kbin overall has more potential once it matures a bit more since it has more interesting functionality (Microblogs, Magazine CSS, etc.). This functionality could lead to some interesting UI/UX paradigms, which IMO would be a bit of a breath of fresh air in the mobile space over the good amount of "apollo-inspired" lemmy apps. The apollo approach is good for lemmy apps, but I see kbin as being something more diverse and as such would necessitate a different approach. Though I think the most important thing long-term for kbin is for it to improve its federation, without that it becomes a jack-of-all-trades master-of-none platform.
