KBin has taken over Lemmy in monthly active users count

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

/cries in iOS

But kbin looks fine in browser on iOS? Actually, I'm really happy I don't have to download another app to use it.

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
