They got an influx of exodus like a week ago but stopped accepting new users because their server couldn’t handle the huge communication. In contrast, kbin.social continues to accept new users, who might be more active than who joined a week before.
This might explain the difference. Or that pro-CCP behavior of Lemmy devs pissed off Lemmiers.
FWIW, I’m exploring Reddit alternatives right now… Created a user account on a Lemmy instance, found the web interface clunky and counterintuitive. And now I created a kbin.social account, and I find it’s MUCH better. Just feels smoother and easier to use. I can get around clunky, unfinished UX, but I know it’s a barrier to entry for a lot of people.
Now, if kbin.social had an Android app, that’d seal the deal 100%. But I understand it’s in the works!
Same. I’ve tried many options, but Kbin has the most appealing UI.
Perhaps because it’s visually similar to old reddit, but I just can’t get used to the other ones.
My only pet peeve is that media thumbnails show some kind of random “middle-of-the-image” cut.
That Lemmy.ml is the main instance and I read that the Lemmy devs themselves are tankies. I didn’t choose Lemmy because I wanted to minimize my contribution to these people.

kbin is so much better in every aspect, only android app is missing
Pro CCP behavior?
Just look up why they’re called tankies
Yeah because of Lemmy.ml. Don’t use that instance. Nice gaslighting.

@bedrooms Arguably Lemmy.world is the 'main instance these days https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse But I agree kbin is the better choice.
@plantmoretrees @XiozTzu
think i may have lost the plot - isn’t the instance you’re thinking of lemmygrad.ml not lemmy.ml?
lemmy.ml also
