I’m a bit confused at the explosive growth of Lemmy and the slower growth of Kbin. Do the stats reflect the reality or is there a problem with the data being fed back to the various stat hubs?

I know the difference is partly because Lemmy was a larger platform, and is better known but the growth of Kbin seems suprisingly flat while the community seems to be getting more and more active?

    I can give only my impression why I have chosen kbin. Better looking, more clear interface.

      Yeah there’s something about the way kbin works that just resonates with me more than Lemmy.

        Kbin is better on PC, Lemmy is better on mobile. At least for me. Only downside I’ve found is I can’t upvote comments on Lemmy while on mobile.

          Even on mobile I like the look of kbin more, but functionality is better for lemmy. I think it will change in future, kbin is just too young. In any case for mobile I have to see an app in a long term.

      Those are actually really valid reasons and presumably why I’m liking kbin as well. Design and feel are really big factors for user adaption, thanks for sharing your experience.
