Looks like KBin has an edge over Lemmy now in terms of monthly active users.

It’s obviously a pretty silly thing, and is not in any way indicative of which project is “better” or more “long-term viable” or anything — instances of both federate with one another, and with the rest of fedi, so it’s all one happy family.

That said, it’s notable. KBin is a relative newcomer to the “Reddit-like fedi instance” game, and also does not have the tankie baggage.

Anyway, the more, the merrier!

    Tbh, it’s floss so I don’t care who’s working on it. I just don’t really get kbin ui myself, lemmy is far closer to reddit for me. If I wanted the microblogging I already have Mastodon so I don’t see why it’s trying to do both. I prefer the old unix philosophy myself.

      Kbin just feels like a home project to my eyes. Hope it goes well and the federation will be absolutely amazing.
