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?
Those graphs are quite informative, and yeah, it seems more like similar growth for both sites based on that info.
Honestly, looking at active users over the last 24 hours I’d say kbin is growing faster than lemmy.
Even setting aside user stats, kbin.social threads still manage to rise pretty high when sorted by Active/Hot from lemmy instances viewing all threads/channels/magazines. I created accounts on several instances, and we’ll see which one wins out on how I actually want to use these sites/services, but for the most part there’s a ton of overlap between what regular users are seeing from each service.
