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?

One big feature Kbin has over Lemmy is that it also supports Mastodon-style microblogs, effectively making it a 2-in-1.

I love that about it. Unlike Lemmy, KBin actually attempts to participate in the wider fediverse - or will do when federation is back on.

That’s exactly why I chose kbin over lemmy :).
