What’s the difference between Kbin and Lemmy? (kbin.social)

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?

Kbin and lemmy are two different sites. Lemmy is a reddit-style site. Kbin has lemmy-style threads but also mastodon-style microblogs.

They both can interact with each other since they're both a part of the fediverse. Personally, I like kbin.

Just wish we could see federated content on Kbin. Right now it feels like its own lonely instance while the Lemmy instances are thriving from multiple other instances federating their content.

I was here before the federation broke and was able to interact with the rest of the fediverse. Please, be patient, it will come back :)

That's great to hear! :) Looking forward to it!
