KBin has taken over Lemmy in monthly active users count (szmer.info)

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 took a look at the stats on The-Federation.info and looks like Lemmy is doing just fine.

I just noticed the same thing. I do not see a stat that shows kbin is overtaking lemmy.

Oh I am not saying it is not doing fine. I just found it super-interesting that a much younger project got ahead, even if perhaps only temporarily, as far as active users are concerned.

Honestly, many people are turned off by Lemmy tankies. I myself though I'd never come back to Lemmy until I found beehaw.

Honestly, many people are turned off by Lemmy tankies.

I keep hearing people commenting about that, but so far I haven't noticed any particular tankie-ish influence.

Maybe I'm just not choosing the communities where they hang out?

The problem is lemmy.ml From what I get, a lot of the old guard (before the Reddit exodus) are tankies. That includes the admins and mods. And Lemmy.ml was or still is the biggest instance because new people automatically choose the server of the Lemmy devs (Because many people don't understand the concept of federation).

Lemmy.ca blocks lemmygrad just like Beehaw so you can't see anything from the biggest tankie community on Lemmy.

You can see this here https://lemmy.ca/instances

So for those of us that do t have any association or federation with the "tankie lemmy", there shouldn't be any taint, right?

Would kbin's current non-federation because of cloudflare stuff be stopping the-federation.info from accessing more recent stats?
