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!

        Does that mean when I browse Lemmy I see kbin content by default? Do I need to add it somehow? I’m using Jerboa on Android.

          You can join communities on KBin instances, you can post to them and comment on posts in them, and KBin users can join communities on Lemmy instances and post to them, and comment on such posts.

          So, “yes”, but you might have to subscribe to a given community first.

      Not sure, but it looks similar to lemmy. It’s “federated”? I wonder if we can see kbin links through our lemmy server? Just trying to figure this all out…

        My understanding is that people on kbin can interact with Lemmy instances. Not sure if that goes the other way though

          I am subscribed to a kbin community through lemmy. I will check. Please wait.

          Update I just checked and it seems my subscription to that community is pending and my post appears on lemmy, but not on the kbin site. Maybe it just takes some time. I will check it later to see if it is just taking some time.

          Right now I can’t see any KBin content from Beehaw but thats on Beehaw I believe not including their content back. Hopefully that changes soon.
