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!

The lack of app for KBin kills it for me.
I have a account with KBin and I may use it as well if there's an app

God, what I would give for Apollo to rip the Reddit API guts out and refit with Lemmy’s. He open sourced it so I’m sure someone will.
Didn't he open source the server backend? Not the app
Not sure honestly.
Server backend stuff was to contradict the Reddit CEOs claims about Apollo being inefficient on the API.
