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.
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.

Switched to kbin? How is it’s front page aggregation? Is it closer to reddit than Lemmy?
Have a look, you don’t need to register just to see how it is: https://kbin.social/
Yes it’s much better and sorting seems stable.
I just checked it out. It certainly feels now polished. Do you know what the dev community is like? Do they update and add features frequently?
It is a tight small shop from what I understand. Their github: https://github.com/ernestwisniewski/kbin
