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!

I signed up for KBin but can't log in. I've seen similar complaints from others. I'm assuming they're either seriously overloaded or something has gone wrong on their end.

kbin.social is overloaded. Check out alternative instances, like fedia.io

I find kbin’s interface to be a bit cluttered. But I really like the ease of following microblog accounts. If I could just have a “microblog only” feed in kbin I think it would make me switch my dartboard.social domain from Akkoma to kbin.

We will see how it shakes out after a few updates.

I really like Kbin's microblog feature. Basically able to "tweet" in a community without making a whole post
