How many users here do you think are going to get bored and end up back on Reddit as soon as the blackout ends? (lemmy.world)

I don't mean to be pessimistic, bit since most subreddits are only going dark for a couple days, the site will basically be back to normal soon. I wonder how many users here are only here because of temporary outrage and not because they actually prefer Lemmy. I'm curious about people's outlook on this situation.

To be honest I found Kbin too confusing, lemmy is a bit less confusing and I'm glad lemmy.ml increased it servers capacity throughout the day, but it was a bit of a mess.

Hopefully the growing pains of lemmy will end soon and we can continue growing the Federation!

I feel the same way about Kbin. Why are communities called magazines? It just doesn't map to mental concepts all that well. It's also extremely hard to navigate to your subscribed subreddits. You have to go through Settings just to do that. I do like aspects of its interface though, like how it uses up more horizontal width of your monitor and there's clearer separation between different comments and different posts.
