I feel like this instance is getting too big and all the content is being centralized here. Am I right or there are other instances thriving too?

Wherever I go I keep seeing lots of lemmy.world users and communities and kind of feel worried about centralization.

Good question, didn't notice that.

Edit: I briefly forgot that kbin uses a different source code / platform than Lemmy, even though still uses federation and ActivityPub and counts as part of the fediverse. So it's counted separately here.

Same like Mastodon, Matrix etc which are different platforms that have the ability to federate with some of the other fediverse platforms like Lemmy.

And also just now I learned that kbin has multiple instances, so it's like its own thing, not just a Lemmy-federated instance.

For the lazy, kbin.social has more active users than all of lemmy combined but a lot less posts.

Interestingly, Active users ~= Total users on kbin.social. But I have no idea how that Active number is computed for either lemmy or kbin on that site.

kbin.social is really new, so it doesn't surprise me that active โ‰ˆ total.

we're literally a month old, so MAU and total users should be pretty much identical right now lol

Or joining one gym and going to another gym of the same franchise. Just like I'm doing now, hello from kbin :)

I've seen a lot of kbin users interacting with the rest of the fediverse, I think because it has a better sorting, it's easier for us to find new threads on other instances.

It has better... everything. Like seriously better.
