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!

    Honestly, many people are turned off by Lemmy tankies. I myself though I’d never come back to Lemmy until I found beehaw.

      I keep hearing people commenting about that, but so far I haven’t noticed any particular tankie-ish influence.

      Maybe I’m just not choosing the communities where they hang out?

          So for those of us that do t have any association or federation with the “tankie lemmy”, there shouldn’t be any taint, right?
