Nice to see the fediverse growing no matter where it is. As long as we can all communicate it doesn't matter what instance or software we're on.
Sidenote: is kbin a fork of lemmy? Or a different codebase entirely?
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Can someone explain the "tankie" baggage? I've seen it thrown around quite a bit but no one seems to explain it in detail.
in the short term we have a few upcoming critical mod tool launches we need to nail
Umm, you really should have launched this before shutting down the current tools mods use.
What are the pros and cons of one platform over the other? Is KBin just Lemmy+Mastodon? Can Lemmy see KBin magazines?
Yep, thread based communities are shared perfectly between Lemmy and kbin. Other than currently the largest kbin community is having federation issues due to the influx of users
Are you comparing kbin to all of the lemmy fediverse?
Because kbin is part of the fediverse and has as far as I understand been bigger then the biggest lemmy instances for a while by a good margin?
just looked for the first time, I really do prefer kbin's UI to Lemmy's right now at least the default web client. Is there value in running both or just one?
I notice I can see mastadon posts on lemmy as well but how do I find stuff on Kbin or Mastadon from lemmy?
I want to like kbin, but I understand beehaw and Lemmy instances better. For the life of me, I cannot figure out the syntax to find communities/instances that are not local to kbin. They have some great "magazines", but I've already started following some communities on other Lemmy instances, so if I opt to use the kbin server and their UI, I need to be able to figure out how to find the communities I'm already participating in.
I signed up for KBin but can't log in. I've seen similar complaints from others. I'm assuming they're either seriously overloaded or something has gone wrong on their end.
I find kbin’s interface to be a bit cluttered. But I really like the ease of following microblog accounts. If I could just have a “microblog only” feed in kbin I think it would make me switch my dartboard.social domain from Akkoma to kbin.
We will see how it shakes out after a few updates.
kbin.social currently has 20k + users. However it currently has federation disabled due to the traffic is receiving. Edit: It isn't 100k
It's a bit funny to be like "federation is what will make this great" and then "federation blows us up, so we're turning it off".
