The goal of Kbin is to communicate with many other ActivityPup services.
Lemmy: Link aggregator, social network, forum
Kbin: Link aggregator, social network, forum, microblogging
Mastodon: Microblogging
You can use Kbin to interact with Lemmy, Mastodon, Pleroma, Peertube, and others. That’s why I switched today (and loving it, exploring everything right now).
I don’t believe that there are multiple instances of Kbin right now. I only know of kbin.social (it is free and open source, though, so anyone can open another instance, I think). Edit: This was wrong. There are many instances. See the answer below.
AFAIK kbin is way early in development and got slammed by a wave of new users after Rexxit happened.
So the dev’s priority right now is server and platform stability, and it’s already way smoother than it was a couple weeks ago. That being said, there are a ton of features planned and development seems to be going pretty quickly at the moment

Switched to kbin? How is it’s front page aggregation? Is it closer to reddit than Lemmy?
Yes it’s much better and sorting seems stable.
I just checked it out. It certainly feels now polished. Do you know what the dev community is like? Do they update and add features frequently?
