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!

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.
KBin.social turned on cloudflare recently (today?) and it broke their federation crossconnects
