I’m a bit confused at the explosive growth of Lemmy and the slower growth of Kbin. Do the stats reflect the reality or is there a problem with the data being fed back to the various stat hubs?
I know the difference is partly because Lemmy was a larger platform, and is better known but the growth of Kbin seems suprisingly flat while the community seems to be getting more and more active?
I admit that I had buyer’s remorse for a bit after immediately jumping to Kbin and finding out later that Lemmy existed. Lemmy’s UI just looks friendlier and more colorful. But I’m sticking with Kbin-- no reason not to, really, since all (or most) of the content cross-pollenates!
I like the simplicity and lack of color at Kbin! So, they’re definitely different selling points.
welcome to the fedi.
multiple accounts are not only normal but also encouraged.
please feel free to create a lemmy account and a mastodon account and a pixelfed account and a peertube account.
Well that’s an entire hassle and seems far from ideal, lol. I have a mastodon account I never use, but for now I’m just gonna stick to kbin and follow whatever lemmy folks or whatever I want from here.
yes, please stay off the rest of the fedi.
Coming off as oddly hostile there.
Interesting. I got the opposite impression, that Kbin is friendlier and has a nicer UI (for the most part). I ended up moving from lemmy.world because of it.
I haven’t quite decided between the two, but I’m planning to self host one of them. And if kbin sticks around and keeps gaining traction, I’m much more familiar with hosting and working with PHP than with Rust
