We all know that lemmy.world is the most popular instance, but how does it compare to kbin.social? Which do you think will be more popular in the long run?

    I’ve searched for Lemmy world communities on kbin and came up dry. There’s a problem of communication between the sites.

      I’m on Kbin and “All” seems almost entirely to be lemmy magazines. I’ve had to go out of my way to find and subscribe to the Kbin equivalents in some cases.

      (My reasoning is primarily that if there is an active community on Kbin, may as well establish there to cut down on potential defederation shenanigans should any occur in the future.)

      Uhm, hi? 😁

      There are occasional issues depending on traffic but in my experience it generally works pretty well. Keep in mind that kbin has a slightly different syntax for adding completely new communities that nobody has subscribed to yet, it’s not !x@y but rather @x@y and it only works in search, not all communities, tab.
