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!

Lemmy doesn’t federated with mastodon type servers.
Kbin is the one you need if you want both reddit style fediverse and Twitter style fediverse. Lemmy only does link aggregation/reddit.
Lemmy should get kbin content but I’m not sure it federates it because kbin allows NSFW and lemmy… Does not for the most part.
How did you manage to fit so much wrong into a single comment?
@HawkMan @manitcor
And yet, here I am, a mastodon user federating with your lemmy comment. 😜
is that a software restriction or just generally a difference in the 2 communities? does kbin allow nodes to block like mastadon and lemmy?
I swear im seeing posts cross over between these systems, might just be my exhaustion.
Lemmy absolutely does federate with Mastodon servers, what are you on about? I’ve seen people posting here from Mastodon accounts, using hash tags and @s in their post, and having the posts show up as posts they’ve made on their Mastodon instance as well.
