They’re both built on ActivityPub and look very similar, but Kbin is talked about like an alternative to Lemmy instead of an instance of it. Is it a fork? Why is it better or worse?

    you have to take into account that kbin.social is not yet totally federated with other instances, because the website is under a Cloudflare protection. this is to let the main dev focus on more important thing that dealing with a direct attack on the website servers. it will be re-federated gradually.

    other instances like https://fedia.io are federated if I’m correct.

      I’m not gonna lie, outside of a few communities im not really sure how much I care about this site federating with lemmy instances. Especially ones like lemmygrad.
