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!

While true, there’s still some pretty questionable/pro-CCP moderation on lemmy.ml.
That’s true and I added it later by an edit in my original post which appears not to have synchronized to Beehaw yet. I wholeheartedly agree with the final paragraph of that post.
Glad they can’t take over the whole Fediverse. I mean Reddit admins were okay with jailbait and a lot of other disgusting stuff, and they actually make decisions for the whole site. The Fediverse is immune to that, the lead dev could literally be a CCP agent and other instances would still be trustworthy as long as the software is open source.
