I see a very small minority of people using Kbin, but I don't understand why.

Is this just a coincidence and did some people choose Kbin over Lemmy or is there a good reason to use Kbin?

Also the ability for users to block instances and domain like mastodon has, which is pretty cool.

This is a big one. There were some contributions from either instances or bots on my feed I didn’t like that I just blocked, and my feed is fine now. No need to ask for defederation of the whole community when you can do it yourself.

You can block users/bots on Lemmy too

I’m still searching everywhere for the ability to block entire instances in kbin (on mobile). Can you please elaborate on how it is done? I only see magazine pages with the block option.

If you click on the menu next to the Kbin logo, at the top there’s a clog and a triangle. The triangle is the federation one.
