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 gave up on kbin almost immediately as I could not figure out how to subscribe to communities besides using their search, which doesn’t show all communities. And even when subscribing to communities I could not figure out how to make the feed show my subscriptions rather than whatever the default is.
Can’t tell if it’s bad UX or missing functionality.
Might just be a case of a relatively new project still figuring stuff out.
