I’m moving away from reddit and looking for a new link aggregator/discussion site, but I want to host my own personal one, and just participate with fediverse sites with federation, since it’s unclear which of kbin or lemmy will take off fully, and which specific sites will stick around.

Is that a good idea or bad idea? And which one would you recommend self hosting? I’m personally more familiar with PHP than Rust, so I’m leaning towards kbin

I also run my own Mastodon instance at leftist.network, but this is in addition to that. And this is just for my own account, running on a home server. If I want to make my own magazines/communities I’ll make a separate public instance for that.

    I love the look of Kbin but it’s been a pain to get up and working. Wondering if there are ones similar to the look that are easier to self host.
