Kbin is pretty new, no apps, and faced a lot of issues during the wave of incoming redditors. Some lemmy instances did, too, but there were more of them so there were alternatives when one crashed. If we compare kbin.social to a big instance like lemmy.world, it’s not doing too bad.

Tildes is invite-only so I don’t think they wanted to grow that quickly in the first place.

For me it’s straight up the fact that the guy who made Sync is porting it to Lemmy.

It’s a great client, and if he picked this I guess he thinks he can keep that quality on this platform, so here I am.

I went to lemmy first, noticed federation wasnt working, then went to kbin, and federation still isnt working. So far I havent seen any entrance to the fediverse that can actually see the fediverse.

Tildes felt like an unpolished pre-alpha to me.

Has Lemmy passed kbin? Last I heard they were growing pretty evenly if you compare the biggest individual instances at least. Maybe creating your own instances is simpler with Lemmy?

kbin as about the same amount of active users as Lemmy
