Kbin is like 7 people posting content lol
It’s federated, so the local user count is completely irrelevant.
Especially when OP even specifically said that you would see the SAME content, just with different sorting.
Circa 60,000 active users, but whatever...
You are rather missing my point. Because it sorts on boosts rather than upvotes it surfaces different things in the federated 'all' feed.
Edit: As corrected below it's about 10k monthly active users, but that's still circa 10% of the whole threadiverse (kbin + Lemmy) and only Lemmy.world is larger than kbin.social
Turn federation off and browse /all. 90% of content is the same 4-5 posters or very niche magazines that are full of posts exclusively submitted by the magazine owner. Comments are a bit more varied but you can’t throw a stone without hitting one of about 7 frequent commenters, which also includes the 4-5 post submitters.
