What’s the difference between Kbin and Lemmy? (kbin.social)

They’re both built on ActivityPub and look very similar, but Kbin is talked about like an alternative to Lemmy instead of an instance of it. Is it a fork? Why is it better or worse?

This is not true. Lemmys backend is written in rust, kbin in php.

Argue with the man himself

I'll just say that before starting from scratch, I tried to create kbin as a fork of Lemmy.
