I just did this. Yes, leaving kbin.social was a bit of a pain since I had to resub to my communities manually, but it is a one-time cost. I think it has been worth it because I’ve been able to be way more active just because the Lemmy instance to which I moved is actually usable. The learning curve is not steep at all and the optional photon and alexandrite front ends are terrific. I’d encourage anyone to make the move.
Comment on Is Lemmy growing or shrinking?

I keep thinking of ditching Kbin for Lemmy, because Kbin is down more often than I'd like, and I presume Lemmy is healthier. However, I've gotten quite used to this place, and am not eager to start anew elsewhere.

Can’t hurt to make an alt account on a lemmy instance as a back up even if you don’t end up switching full time.

I would suggest looking at other Kbin instances outside of kbin.social. or look to mbin, which is a fork that in told is more stable. I also haven't made the jump from Kbin, but have been having similar issues with usability with it for awhile.

Yeah, Fedi really needs well implemented nomadic identies IMO.

BTW, at least in my experience, kbin fails to federate a lot of content properly, leading to communities and posts seeming A LOT emptier than they actually are
