EDIT: we just crossed 30K 🥳

We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving 🔥

    Wish I could actually log into my lemmy.world account on desktop. Works in Jervoa, but neither Chrome, nor FF let me get past the spinning wheel of the login button.

      This is what it gives me if I try signing in with the credentials of another server. I made accounts on a few before I realized what was what.

      Oh that’s very interesting. I’m having an identical issue with an account I made on another Lemmy instance (feddit.uk). I’m still trying to work out where I’ll settle long-term (including whether that is on Kbin or Lemmy) but for the time being the inability to access my feddit.uk account is making the decision for me…

          If I’m honest, I’ve not yet discovered hugely different features. My understanding is that kbin allows more integration with the non-threadiverse bits of the Fediverse (for example, Mastodon) than Lemmy, but so far I’ve not made use of that. Kbin is also newer and therefore seems a bit rougher around the edges, but that will pass.

          What initially drew me to kbin was more not wanting to get dragged into the tankie noise around Lemmy, but as the number of instances have grown that seems to have become less of an issue.

          What I will say for kbin though is that Ernest (the kbin developer, who also runs the kbin.social instance) seems quite nice and is very responsive and transparent with the community.
