I'm on the fence, personally. Being able to post across instances is nice, but Lemmy does also have some minor annoying problems that do get in the way of the experience a bit. Currently, I've run into a bug where some comments and posts don't send for some inexplicable reason, and the issue where Lemmy's web UI simply doesn't send errors messages and fails silently doesn't really help things. Kbin has a nicer UI, but it doesn't have the same kind of formatting options, which can be a little bothersome (Kbin doesn't do spoiler tagging, for example), and the Kbin instance I'm using seems prone to crashing as a result of load from the recent influx of users.
I personally can't wait until they start implementing the ability to move accounts, so I can jump to a different instance, and see if it's just an issue of high server load (My other account is on lemmy.world, which is one of the big ones), or whether there might be a deeper bug at play. Not being locked to the one instance would also be nice.
Personally, I'm rather partial to "Homer's Triple Bypass". The imagery of having Homer's heart in a little corner of a screen, like it's in a little camera/box is pretty unique, and not something that I've seen any other show do, even after all this time. The film is also good, and surprisingly poignant, considering recent climate events and all of that.
