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?

I'm not gonna lie, outside of a few communities im not really sure how much I care about this site federating with lemmy instances. Especially ones like lemmygrad.

At least we have the option to turn off federation. I haven't done so yet, but I have noticed a dive in post quality since federation was turned back on. Everything on kbin itself that I've seen has been cordial and civil, but there have been a number of comments from lemmy users I've seen in just the last day that led me to block some channels of theirs, and a bit more shitposting than I'd like in my feed.
