Kbin is a modular, decentralized content aggregator and microblogging platform running on the Fediverse network. The initiative aims to promote a free and open internet.
Hello!
Sorry for the noob question. Whats the difference between kbin and lemmy? is it a fork? Im beginning to lose track the deeper I go into the fediverse.Thanks,
@ernest I’ve been exploring alternatives to Reddit for a week now, and I’m loving Kbin. I miss more presence from the Spanish-speaking community, but there will be time for them to discover the advantages of the Fediverse. Congratulations on the initiative, and long live the project.
There are a few servers on mastodon (choose Spanish as language) and a post on lemmy (not sure if that’s a good instance). Currently, I’m learning Spanish, so I follow from a few places and my feed is interesting…. Some English, some Spanish, a bit of German.

Yes, I’ve been on Mastodon for quite some time now. There’s a significant presence of Spanish speakers there (masto.es). But I was looking for content on Lemmy or Kbin. Nevertheless, I have no problem with English. Thank you.
I just joined Kbin. How is the name supposed to be pronounced? Like cabin?
Hi, good to see you here :) I honestly have no idea what the pronunciation is. It’s a reference to the Linux /sbin, a container for things that are important to you. This is intentional, I want /kbin to be perceived as each individual instance. Each instance is different. Each community is different. That’s what’s cool about the Fediverse.
I just like the fact that it sounds like a piece of KDE software 😅😅😅
I do “K” “Bin”, and then read it together. That’s how I’ve been pronouncing it and imagined others were doing the same?
Is there a way to see the list of groups (not sure what the name is… The things that are like “sub-reddits” lol)
yes, here: https://kbin.social/magazines
