Not really multiple accounts on lemmy but one one lemmy.world and another on kbin. Then came across lemm.ee which had some sorting bug fixed and liked the name so… yeah 2 lemmy accounts and one kbin.
The total number of active users in the last month would be a much more accurate statistic. The number of users does not give the correct result due to bot accounts.
Think of it like email, where you can use GMail and I can use Hotmail, but we can talk to each other. I can see your post and respond from my kbin account (like this).
The goal of Kbin is to communicate with many other ActivityPup services.
Lemmy: Link aggregator, social network, forum
Kbin: Link aggregator, social network, forum, microblogging
Mastodon: Microblogging
You can use Kbin to interact with Lemmy, Mastodon, Pleroma, Peertube, and others. That's why I switched today (and loving it, exploring everything right now).
I don't believe that there are multiple instances of Kbin right now. I only know of kbin.social (it is free and open source, though, so anyone can open another instance, I think). Edit: This was wrong. There are many instances. See the answer below.
The site is very new and is in active development. For now, it's mostly under the hood stuff but the stability of the experience increased quite a bit since I first started a week so they must be doing it right.
I believe the owner @ernest is doing the heavy lifting by himself.
Ernest, from what I've seen, has been very receptive and passionate about all the incoming users. They scaled their infrastructure quickly to meet demand and were interacting with users on kbin regarding features they would like to see. I have high hopes.
AFAIK kbin is way early in development and got slammed by a wave of new users after Rexxit happened.
So the dev’s priority right now is server and platform stability, and it’s already way smoother than it was a couple weeks ago. That being said, there are a ton of features planned and development seems to be going pretty quickly at the moment
Its a completely different link agreggator software. But since both Lemmy and kbin are based on the ActivityPub protocol, instances of both can federate with each other. Hence, lemmy users can see content posted on kbin instances and vice versa.
It is not just active users , we have gone from under 100 nodes (instances) to over 300 in June alone , I really love the distributed network idea, I could see large sub from reddit running there own instance where they really have control of the destiny of there community.
Lemmy is where it's at. I'm noticing an insane jump in quality. It feels like everyone on reddit wants to be a comedian or repeat the same thing 1000 times just to show they fit in.
I've checked Reddit a few times the past few days and I've started to notice how many comments are the same inside jokes over and over again. The hive mind really looks different when you're on the outside.
Looking through the code on GitHub it looks like active is the number of new posts plus the number of new comments in a certain time period (in this case 6 months).
Caveat: I'm just a hobbyist so my reading of the code may not be exactly correct.
create or replace function site_aggregates_activity(i text)

update site_aggregates

update site_aggregates

update site_aggregates
set users_active_month = (select * from site_aggregates_activity('1 month'));
update site_aggregates

Me neither, very glad our various admins are on top of it all. There's an interesting update on the situation from the admin of lemm.ee here https://lemmy.world/post/378640
I imagine there will still be a higher than normal amount of growth, but not as steep, through the rest of the summer as other people give up on Reddit after the changes. Some casual users may not understand what's going on, but they'll notice the changes through July and August without all the 3rd party people and the mods who leave/have left/got removed, which may drive them to alternatives.
