A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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!

is that a software restriction or just generally a difference in the 2 communities? does kbin allow nodes to block like mastadon and lemmy?

I swear im seeing posts cross over between these systems, might just be my exhaustion.

It's a software difference. Kbin is just made to be both reddit and Twitter. Lemmy is only made to be reddit. Basically.

Kine currently has problems with federation because of their cloudflare anti spam.

Under magazines you should get reddit like stuff and Twitter stuff under.. Whatever the other is called. You might get content from both under the comments sections, but I thought that was only reddit type content comments.
