Looks like the admin for kbin.lol has some pretty valid gripes with the current status of Kbin. I have to agree, you can tell the platform is not up to speed at all.

Kbin looks visually great but the backend just isn't there. Check out his statement, it's worth the read.

No many alternatives does not fragment the community.

Unfortunately it does. Imagine that some time ago, everyone was on reddit. Now the people who leave reddit split between many lemmy instances and kbin. In addition, some will stay on reddit.

No it doesn't. On lemmy or kbin or lolite you can have as many instances as you want across those platforms and the communities, comments and posts are all shared.

I'm on lemmy but I can post in kbin communities and interact with their users. I can view posts from lemmy on mastodon ( and the reverse once the devs get around to it)

As long as the content is shared, it’s all good
