Two weeks after 30K users we reach 50K

kbin definitely feels more… idk polished? compared to Lemmy. Lemmy feels like a proof of concept, while kbin feels like effort was actually put into it’s UI. I bounce between both, but I certainly prefer kbin.
Squabbles feels even more polished.
Squabbles was pretty for sure but it felt too peppy, for lack of a better word, to me.
@ripcord Squabbles is very slick. I think it does a great job of meeting its mission statement of being a cross between reddit and twitter. I think if it can scale well (it’s still primarily a one-person effort I believe) it has a shot at being a serious reddit/twitter competitor. And its user interface feels modern, whereas both lemmy and kbin feel like they’re a generation behind in terms of UX. (I know many ex-redditors prefer the old.reddit.com look & feel by the way, which is probably why they’d more likely to be drawn to the current crop of threadiverse sites, but the casual user is more likely to be drawn to something like squabbles.)
It’s nice here. :)
reddit has 55+ million daily active users, just some food for thought
You don’t need that many active users for a rich and engaging community. I also don’t believe kbin will or should replace reddit. But it’s a great alternative for those that don’t like the way things are going on reddit.
Reddit’s glory days are over and it’s nothing but blue skies ahead for the verse.
I started using Reddit when it was one page, and spez was submitting a substantial amount of the content. It was much smaller and less-developed than the Fediverse is now. Around that time, MySpace was the website seeing the most usage in the US.
That’s true, but I would just point out that the nice thing is you are not limited to kbin. I found the United Kingdom community on the Lemmy ‘Feddit’ instance. There isn’t a United Kingdom magazine here, so I just subscribed to the Feddit one, via Kbin. Seems to be working pretty seamlessly.
It’s also been around for like 18 years… It’s legally an adult.
Kbin has been active for about 2 weeks. 57k signups in 2 weeks, and 3.3k since yesterday, is a pretty incredible clip of new users.
Quality over quantity. Glad to be here!
exciting to see kbin grow. it’s really starting to get cozy here. not quite matching how i used to feel on reddit, but definitely starting to feel like home. I’m glad to see that more people are joining.
is the lemmyverse also similarly growing?
Lemmy.world topped 70,000 active users yesterday. It was a 40% growth in 12 hours, so pretty crazy. If you go there right now you can tell the servers are under heavy load.
Happy to see it!! I’m enjoying my new home, and welcome others to do the same
Same here, lurked for a couple of days before making an account. Seems like a decent place to hang while doomscroll on the toilet.

I feel this comment.
I really like kbins layout/structure, it’s like a mix of reddit and twitter and with some optimization could really be something special.
It’s really exciting to see the community grow and develop. Two weeks ago there were barely any upvotes and comments. Now I see posts with several hundred upvotes and comments. /m/All has new content each and every time I visit. I see more and more Magazines come through. Saw a few posts above 1K upvotes already a few days ago. It’s awesome!
I tried a few different places, but kbin just felt ‘right’ to me. Happy to be here with you all!
This my instance, there are many like it but this one is mine
My instance is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
Content has been flowing more noticeably around these parts recently. Lot more memes/posts/comments flying around and the number of votes for posts on FP has been increasing.
I’ve never been a part of an e-community from the get go and it feels so cool watching it transform in front of my eyes.
Really like it here. Love the interface and lots of good posts already!
I dig it here so far
Kbin has been great so far, massive props to the developers who are keeping this place running under a crushing influx of new people.
Great progressive growth, it’s a great place here
kbin is great, I even got used to the PWA. Still looking forward to the releases of Artemis and Kbam, since I exclusively use kbin from mobile.
And it feels good to be one of them!
