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?

    Me too, I tried to make a lemmy account and it wouldn’t work at first, and then when it did work it wouldn’t let me log in. I can’t imagine how much more of a pain in the ass it would be if it was one of the instances that required an essay to apply for membership.

    I tried kbin and it worked first try, no problems at all. I figured I would run into the same problem I had trying to join lemmy but didn’t have a problem at all.

    I can’t imagine how many more people would be signing up to the federation if it just worked first try.

      This is my experience as well. Tried lemmy and the login icon just kept spinning in circles. I even tried asking discords for help.

      Tried kbin and it just works, no issues, smooth.
