What actually is kbin? Is it just Lemmy with a different user interface? Does it have multiple instances like Lemmy?

The goal of Kbin is to communicate with many other ActivityPup services.

Lemmy: Link aggregator, social network, forum
Kbin: Link aggregator, social network, forum, microblogging
Mastodon: Microblogging

You can use Kbin to interact with Lemmy, Mastodon, Pleroma, Peertube, and others. That’s why I switched today (and loving it, exploring everything right now).

I don’t believe that there are multiple instances of Kbin right now. I only know of kbin.social (it is free and open source, though, so anyone can open another instance, I think). Edit: This was wrong. There are many instances. See the answer below.

Switched to kbin? How is it’s front page aggregation? Is it closer to reddit than Lemmy?

Yes it’s much better and sorting seems stable.

Its a completely different link agreggator software. But since both Lemmy and kbin are based on the ActivityPub protocol, instances of both can federate with each other. Hence, lemmy users can see content posted on kbin instances and vice versa.
