As of right now:
-
kbin.social has 36,508 total users: https://fedidb.org/network/instance/kbin.social
-
lemmy.ml has 36,185: https://fedidb.org/network/instance/lemmy.ml
-
lemmy.world has 33,945: https://fedidb.org/network/instance/lemmy.world
Well done, kbinauts!
(For completeness: Lemmy as a whole is still much larger than kbin by 330,192 users to 41,477.)
Sorry, to clarify - there are other kbin servers besides the main .social one, although most are in other countries and wouldn’t suite me anyway. Point is, right now it’s a best guess and no real guidance on the best route to take for someone totally new to the idea.
@Rhaedas where can I find a list of these servers? Also, is there a way to see which servers kbin.social federates to and defederates? I know on Lemmy it’s simply /instances
kbin.pub has the listings under instances. I don’t know of any defederation with anyone and kbin.social.
@Rhaedas As far as I can see, this is a list of Kbin instances that exist, not a list of what any kbin instance is federated to or defederated from.
@Rhaedas This is all the information that they have of any instance, which doesn’t include their (un)links: https://i.ibb.co/Z6zWgz2/image.png
