Fedidb.org recommends to use active users stats instead of total users stats. (fedidb.org)

Fedidb.org recommends people who view their statistics on their “Threadiverse” tracking page that people should not use graphs and numbers from the total users due to the surge of bot-accounts, and should instead use the monthly active users. This puts the “Threadiverse” at 87,089. Lemmy with 37,197 and Kbin at 44,136. Fedidb.org also shows that the number of accounts is now at 1,75 million, though most of these accounts are probably just bots.

I think that perhaps more Reddit users are moving to Kbin because it feels & looks more like Reddit. At least that is the feeling that I get. But in all honesty, no idea.

That's where I started due to ease on the eyes and similar experience at first. Now I'm more comfortable on lemmy. Also, @ward2k i don't know how it factors into active users, but they could just call kbin a home and mostly interact on lemmy communities. No idea how that affects numbers.

I'm on Lemmy via Jerboa because that was the first app I found for fediverse browsing on my mobile.

I seems more desktop/laptop users are partial to Kbin, but mobile users drift towards Lemmy from what Ive seen.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

There are currently no Kbin apps because Kbin doesn't have an API yet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Mostly because Jerboa is relatively easy to use plus with the apparent 9 different apps in development now lol

I used Jerboa on mobile also but I use kbin on desktop. Maybe that will change once a real kbin app comes out
