Is it speed? Features? Ease of development? Just curious why lemmy is seeing more activity as opposed to other networks.
I went to lemmy first, noticed federation wasnt working, then went to kbin, and federation still isnt working. So far I havent seen any entrance to the fediverse that can actually see the fediverse.
kbin federation works just fine
Kbin is pretty new, no apps, and faced a lot of issues during the wave of incoming redditors. Some lemmy instances did, too, but there were more of them so there were alternatives when one crashed. If we compare kbin.social to a big instance like lemmy.world, it’s not doing too bad.
Tildes is invite-only so I don’t think they wanted to grow that quickly in the first place.
Tildes felt like an unpolished pre-alpha to me.
kbin as about the same amount of active users as Lemmy
i thought lemmy had like 250k+ (?) in total and then kbin.social has like 40-45k
Lemmy has a shit ton of inactive bot accounts, actually active users is about even: https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse
