This comment is weird to me because people used to use hashtags ironically on Reddit where they did nothing. Here they do and seeing a clickable, functioning hashtag in a comment for the first time is odd.
Also using the Kbin PWA from Firefox. It got me to switch over from Edge because performance was terrible in any magazine that did something as simple as change the color of the title bar for some reason. Worked fine in Chrome oddly enough. But I'd sooner use Firefox over Chrome.
We're actually doing fine now after 2 infrastructure upgrades, no longer overloaded. Earnest gave an update saying there isn't anything backed up in the federation queue anymore.
Kbin had a tiny lead for a while in active users, but that changed when lemmy.world hit the scene and we got the first Lemmy instance ready to accept a huge number of users without the controversy surrounding lemmy.ml. At the same time, Kbin was getting hit very hard by those 50k users and had to disable federation for a few days, which drove people to sign up for lemmy.world instead. I think this is also when Lemmy-hosted communities became the go-to "default" as opposed to those on Kbin.
What's also interesting though is if we break it down a little further, kbin.social still has the most active users in a single instance. Lemmy.world has more accounts, but most of those don't post or comment.
Either way though, whichever has more users doesn't really matter because they don't directly compete.
What, no, this tastes great. Like a cola float. Bonus points for using whole milk. Do this.
Edit: I'm serious, soda has so much sugar you can't taste whatever this post is referring to, and the milk isn't actually spoiled so there's no harm in it.
That's because there was no API available until now, so development relied on scraping. Development should pick up a bit now that one is almost released.
The active userbase isn't too far off from Lemmy's, roughly 40k compared to Lemmy's 70k. As for the content, it doesn't really mater what service is hosting the community since it's all federated. There are large kbin magazines as well.
That's understandable, I figured it wouldn't be interchangeable with the Lemmy API. He did mention in his Discord a little while ago that kbin support is planned, so hopefully that's still on the roadmap now that the API is almost ready.
In the magazine tab on Kbin, it functions similarly to Lemmy. You can search for a community/magazine there, local or federated. If something doesn't show up because it's not federated yet, you can use the @ tag with the @ domain name. You can also use it as a list of all communities currently federating with your kbin instance by not typing anything into the search bar, selecting "local and federated" in the dropdown, and clicking search.
Yeah, that's fair
