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!

    Fair, but for me, both Rust and Php mean I won’t be customizing or contributing much to the project.

      The repo’s contributor archetype will change based on the language too. What language would you be comfortable in contributing with?

        Me? I’m always at home in Python. It’s like a warm cozy blanket of productivity and joy.

          Python is fine for small projects, but I really wouldn’t want to maintain something like Lemmy with it. Just the fact that there are no real types gives me shivers.
