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!

just looked for the first time, I really do prefer kbin’s UI to Lemmy’s right now at least the default web client. Is there value in running both or just one?
I notice I can see mastadon posts on lemmy as well but how do I find stuff on Kbin or Mastadon from lemmy?
Lemmy doesn’t federated with mastodon type servers.
Kbin is the one you need if you want both reddit style fediverse and Twitter style fediverse. Lemmy only does link aggregation/reddit.
Lemmy should get kbin content but I’m not sure it federates it because kbin allows NSFW and lemmy… Does not for the most part.
How did you manage to fit so much wrong into a single comment?
