It's still tiny numbers in the scheme of things, but also quite a big number for a site that had ~30 users this time last month.

It’s feeling a bit like 2008 all over again, the community feels smaller, more engaged and with a main sense of purpose. It’s refreshing.

I’m glad to be journeying on this spaceship with y’all.

Right?, it feels rewarding to add the discussion, to help solve issues in the code (if you can), helping people navigate where they want to go.
At least for me, reddit failed in something, making me feel part of its community, kbin is succeeding at this so far.

By joining them you are spreading the load so we can keep all instances stable.

I agree, right after getting used to swapping from reddit to kbin, it felt more like I was part of a community! I like to think reddit was a large city and kbin is a small village that is gradually growing.

I'm really glad I took the opportunity to swap from reddit to kbin, I already feel happier on the site and I haven't even been here for a week. I definitely feel like more people should swap which thankfully most likely will happen as reddit dies down.
