A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I haven't really used it, so this is all second-hand:
As far as I understand, it's a younger project with more papercuts than Lemmy, but more features. Instead of just being a link aggregator like Reddit/Lemmy, it's also got microblog functionality so it plays better with Mastodon. For users of Mastodon, having a one-stop-shop for both services is pretty handy.
It's much harder and more problematic to set up kbin instances, so almost everyone just uses kbin.social. This means it's a very centralized fediverse platform compared to Lemmy, but that might be seen as an advantage to some.
