I say kay-bin, because it kind of looks like it should sound like that, imo.
K'bin feels like I'm just trying to make the word as short as possible.
Cabin or Ki-bin both feel like I'm adding new letters just because. To me, it would be like calling reddit "reddita" or "reedit".

When I refer to the threadiverse in general (including “I saw a post on on…”) I just say lemmy. I actually really dislike the name “kbin”.
No sense in explaining it tho, cuz if you don’t get it, you won’t get it.
3 0 ReplyInteresting. For some reason kbin sounds better than lemmy to me, but don't super love either.
3 0 ReplyBoth are still better than “beehaw”

Kay-bin seems like the only correct way. Cabin or K'bin just feels wrong for no particular reason. The name honestly just makes me think of KDE.
3 0 Reply"Cabin" with a strong emphasis on the first syllable seems hillarious though.
1 0 ReplySame, k-anything has just been beaten into my brain as "oh a KDE app!"
