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!

kbin.social currently has 20k + users. However is currently has federation disabled due to the traffic is receiving. Edit: It isn't 100k
Federation isn't disabled directly. The admin put the instance behind a cloudflare proxy, which breaks the ActivityPub federation without further tweaking to open up the relevant ports. He's working on loosening up that restriction to get federation working properly again.
Edit: Also kbin.social currently sits at ~126k users.
