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!

    Yeah, I didn’t even investigate kpub very much though. And Lemmy is a lot of lock-in; obviously once you’re on it, you’re on it.

    I guess it is the more robust project so I shouldn’t be too concerned. Will definitely keep an eye on kbin though.

      Sounds about right. And there is always a possibility of someone creating a migration tool.
