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!

    I don’t really care. I’m on Lemmy but fuck it, as long as it gets people off Reddit, competition can be a good thing in this space.

    Metallica and Megadeth are historically successful bands, but Metallica would have never made it if Mustaine stayed.

      Absolutely, that’s why I am celebrating Kbin existing and being used.

      As I understand both make the greater platform bigger, more Kbin users means more Lemmy content as well.

      Imagine competition being mutually beneficial!
