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!

      Thank you for solving a mystery I’ve had since I heard of Lemmy! I kept hearing about a supposed tankie problem, but never saw anything about it. Now I’m even more thankful about choosing Beehaw; I have leftist leanings, but tankies definitely rub me the wrong way.

      Interesting, thanks. I guess I lucked out on which instance I joined lol. Is there a way to see what instances federate with which instances?
