I don’t mind waiting for things to be fixed what with life interfering with things, but I can’t find any activity from Ernest lately. He hasn’t been, like… hit by a bus or anything terrible like that, has he?

I made an alt two months ago when Kbin would never connect. I have barely been back since, so it is now my main. I hoped Kbin would come out if its slump but… that seems unlikely at this point. I’m actually quite happy on Lemmy, especially after the v0.19 upgrade allows blocking of an entire instance. I personally virtually never see any spam (maybe one comment per month) and while connection issues do occur, they are like a handful per week rather than handful per hour (it varies a lot though, sometimes it does get bad for a day or two and then weeks go by without a hitch).
I avoided the initial hurdle of making a Lemmy account for so long and, while it was super annoying, in retrospect it wasn’t that bad, compared to all the other problems here and still having to go through all that, eventually.
If anyone is thinking about switching: don’t worry unduly about it, just make an account and see if you like it, but you can always keep your Kbin active too, assuming Kbin remains alive.
Also, you may need to try out a few places before you find one that fits you best. But that reduces your anxiety bc you know more and don’t need to worry about having to do it again in a worst-case scenario.
