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!

My understanding is that people on kbin can interact with Lemmy instances. Not sure if that goes the other way though

I am subscribed to a kbin community through lemmy. I will check. Please wait.

Update I just checked and it seems my subscription to that community is pending and my post appears on lemmy, but not on the kbin site. Maybe it just takes some time. I will check it later to see if it is just taking some time.

KBin.social turned on cloudflare recently (today?) and it broke their federation crossconnects

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, you are right. It looks like they stated that this is only temporary.

I saw somebody mention that kbin recently implemented cloudflare protection that breaks federation with Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, the main instance, kbin.social, is struggling under load right now. There are other instances though, like https://fedia.io/

Yes, but they stated that this is just temporary.
