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!

Glad they can't take over the whole Fediverse. I mean Reddit admins were okay with jailbait and a lot of other disgusting stuff, and they actually make decisions for the whole site. The Fediverse is immune to that, the lead dev could literally be a CCP agent and other instances would still be trustworthy as long as the software is open source.
