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!

just looked for the first time, I really do prefer kbin's UI to Lemmy's right now at least the default web client. Is there value in running both or just one?

I notice I can see mastadon posts on lemmy as well but how do I find stuff on Kbin or Mastadon from lemmy?

If you're on desktop, I made a style that uses the Stylus add on help the UI not look like shit

this is relevant to my interests. I want to be able to cross post a post on the UI!

This is absolutely perfect, you're a legend! It's exactly what I wanted.
