I want to check out KBin, but it literally the whole 1st page, the top 25 posts, were all from Lemmy communities.
Seems like KBin is almost just a front-end for lemmy now :(

My dumb ass understanding:
Lemmy has an API that allows for easier and more featured app deployment than kbin.
The vast majority of social media and forum users are fucking around on their phones, and therefore want apps that make it more convenient and better formatted than a phone’s web browser.
Hence, Lemmy is getting more traction because of app availability and features.
I’ve used some of them and the web and mobile interface of kbin is still easier to use than the beta apps of lemmy and web interface. Not sure why so many went the lemmy route other than the rexxit and lemmy was slightly easier at the time to spin up new instances.
