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 might be counting people who have posted this month and kbin might be counting anyone who has cisited the site.

    The data is from The-Federation.info, and the idea is that the metric is about users whose accounts were active over the last month. I think “active” in both cases means “has logged in recently”.

    Big respect to all the devs for handling this growth so well.

    Absolutely. Sending all the hugs and good vibes, the Big Wave has not even started yet, I think.
