Looks like KBin has an edge over Lemmy now in terms of monthly active users.

It's obviously a pretty silly thing, and is not in any way indicative of which project is "better" or more "long-term viable" or anything — instances of both federate with one another, and with the rest of fedi, so it's all one happy family.

That said, it's notable. KBin is a relative newcomer to the "Reddit-like fedi instance" game, and also does not have the tankie baggage.

Anyway, the more, the merrier!

Just note that kbin.social currently has Cloudflare DDoS protection enabled which is breaking federation. Until this is removed, the communities are seperate.

I've got my lemmy instance proxied through cloudflare. It can work if you make it work. It does take a page rule to get around some of the bot detection nonsense.

It may be worth passing that rule/config over to @Ernest@kbin.social

The captcha bot detector thing seems to be making it wonkier.

Good to know, I was wondering why I couldn't see any kbin stuff here

[-] rysiek@szmer.info 5 points 2 years ago

There are other instances, like https://fedia.io/ for example.

Thanks, I just made a test post and could not figure out why they were not in sync.
