kbin.social was the first thing on the recommended list.

Awesome, more users is good!
Kbin is so nice and seems more stable than lemmy. I spent all of yesterday on a lemmy account with a lot of loading errors and all of today on kbin and not a single error! Well done to the devs.
You’ll get a couple but they’re usually super temporary 503s so it just feels like the Reddit of yore
That's excellent to hear! I've been following the progress of KBin closely. The big thing I'm waiting for is mobile apps
@hariette@tech.lgbt is working on a client that is (currently) called Kmoon.
It might be renamed soon, but I've signed up for the beta and am currently waiting for an Android build 👀
I think the name has been all but finalized to be Artemis.
i’d LOVE to switch from using Apollo for reddit to Artemis for lemmy tbh
On the plus side, kbin now has a PWA, and it works pretty well.
Part of it is that Lemmy instances are dealing with a major influx of new users and it's causing server issues. I decided to avoid that and the defederation drama and fired up my own instance. I'm kind of curious if I could use another server to run a kbin instance and just have it be kbin.captainapathetic.cfd instead, I don't see why it wouldn't work, considering doing it for Mastodon too.
Yeah understandable, I‘ll give the lemmy account another try when this maybe calms down a bit. Which, considering the big Reddit App death is happening on the 30th may be a while lol.
Own instance is a cool idea to deal with that as well, since for one user even a raspberry pi should be enough or so I have heard, maybe I‘ll try it if I get bored.
yea really either kbin or lemmy is fine, to me it seems more about what works best for you, hell some people are fine with using mastodon and just dealing with the jank of reading threaded posts there because they only want to follow a few communities. Also yea I'm using a cheap VPS with 2 vCPUs, 2GB RAM, and 40GB SSD storage and it is just fine for a single user instance
I'm pretty sure I read that kbin.social is running on 2 vCPUs and 4 GB RAM so you should be extremely fine with that as a single user!
