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!

Sorry but what is kbin? It seems it’s like Lemmy but they’re not connected? Why not?

At least for me, I cannot access most kbin magazines from Lemmy

Try magazines from https://fedia.io, which is also a Kbin instance. The "main" Kbin instance, kbin.social, currently does not federate due to the load.

Good to know, thanks!

It's going to be a glorious moment when lemmy and kbin can fully see each other's posts!

I'm not able to join magazines on fedia.io either.

Huh. That's surprising. I just joined https://fedia.io/m/cybersecurity from my Lemmy account on szmer.info.
