Is kbin dead in the water?

Still no API to enable official apps and no moderation tools. It really feels like it's lagging behind Lemmy at this point. Lemmy's growth has significantly outpaced kbin and it feels like it's going to just die a slow death now.

EDIT: Case in point, there are 3 comments on this thread and I cannot see any of them.

Per Ernest,

I had some minor turbulence in my private life from which I'm slowly emerging. I have partially stabilized my life situation in various aspects. I hope this will help me smoothly return to old habits, maintain consistency, and keep you updated on what specifically is happening in the project.

I really like kbin but eventually switched to lemmy because of the boost app. But once apps for kbkn start coming I'll definitely check them out

Unblock domain-level blocks to see threads. No idea why, but it just fixed my issue. Didn't have to unblock mags or users, just domains.

That's part of why there's a new fork called Mbin with more active contributors than official Kbin. And Lemmy did get a headstart on Kbin, it was first by a while. Ernest is definitely still working on Kbin, though.
