do you say it as kay-bin or k'bin?
LollerCorleone, 
Kay-bin, obviously.
numbscroll, 
Originally thought cabin but didn’t stick. Kay-bin 100%.
Semmelstulle, Same here. But I’d not be surprised if we have Cabin for kbin at some point.
psyspoop,

joeygibson, 
Kay-bin.
It reminds me of the property manager at my first apartment, back in 1990. She spelled her name "K'ren", and I assumed it was pronounced either Karen, or kuh-Ren. Nope. It was "KAAAAYYY-WRREE-NNN", three syllables in her very southern accent. The stress was on both of the first two syllables. 😂️
Amongog, 
In spanish you are likely to default to k'bin (cabin).
Letter K pronunciation varies across the globe, so I think everyone will have variations of it.
nightauthor, 
When I refer to the threadiverse in general (including “I saw a post on on…”) I just say lemmy. I actually really dislike the name “kbin”.
No sense in explaining it tho, cuz if you don’t get it, you won’t get it.
elscallr, 
I say "the lemmybins"
cutitdown, Interesting. For some reason kbin sounds better than lemmy to me, but don't super love either.
nightauthor, Both are still better than “beehaw”
CarlsIII, I say “Kay-bee”; the n is silent
Angry_Maple, I say kay-bin, because it kind of looks like it should sound like that, imo.
K’bin feels like I’m just trying to make the word as short as possible.
Cabin or Ki-bin both feel like I’m adding new letters just because. To me, it would be like calling reddit “reddita” or “reedit”.
Peruvian_Skies, 
What about "quou-been"?
Mars2k21, 
Kay-bin seems like the only correct way. Cabin or K'bin just feels wrong for no particular reason. The name honestly just makes me think of KDE.
Peruvian_Skies, "Cabin" with a strong emphasis on the first syllable seems hillarious though.
WorseDoughnut, 
Same, k-anything has just been beaten into my brain as "oh a KDE app!"
