I have been thinking which of the two should i use. If i understand fully i can still browse lemmy instances on kbin. And i can even check out mastodon users on it.
If this is the case, why would anyone choose lemmy instead of kbin? I assume there must be another aspects i don’t know of?
For me there are 3 reasons for choosing Lemmy over Kbin.
copy url to fediverseare not public, but locked behind login.Why do you count PHP as a point against Kbin?
I do not want to touch a single line of code in PHP. Even brainfuck is more attractive than PHP
Have you used PHP 7+ before? It’s surprisingly ergonomic, much more so than earlier versions.

He’s probably had to work with php in the past and holds a grudge. I certainly do
There’s some debate in regards to PHP being an insecure language. Might have to do with the fact that over 65% of all websites run PHP (WordPress), and there have been a string of high-profile vulnerabilities in the news in recent years. Not making a claim either way, but could be why it was listed as a negative.
PHP is as secure as it’s developer makes it. There are excellent frameworks out there that make security simple. And then, there is WordPress.
