It's still tiny numbers in the scheme of things, but also quite a big number for a site that had ~30 users this time last month.

It’s feeling a bit like 2008 all over again, the community feels smaller, more engaged and with a main sense of purpose. It’s refreshing.
I’m glad to be journeying on this spaceship with y’all.
Something nostalgic and familiar about beta testing new apps, seeing the community grow, and getting 500 Internal Server Error screens in the process... I like it in a quirky kinda way
I kinda consider the errors and lags to be like those dog bowls that keep pups from eating their kibble too fast.
I always take it as a sign to go do something elsewhere lol
That's the same sensation I found with leaving Twitter and joining Mastodon. I found that I was more inclined to engage rather than simply read information, and it was more straightforward to curate the information and people I wanted to follow.
This 100%. Quality > quantity!
Completely the same! I now even run my own calckey instance and have lots of interactions. Also at almost 200 followers in just few months. Twitter felt like posting into the void instead.
Right?, it feels rewarding to add the discussion, to help solve issues in the code (if you can), helping people navigate where they want to go.
At least for me, reddit failed in something, making me feel part of its community, kbin is succeeding at this so far.Edit: Obligatory plug of other kbin instances for new users to join: fedia.io, readit.buzz, fediverse.boo,
By joining them you are spreading the load so we can keep all instances stable.I agree, right after getting used to swapping from reddit to kbin, it felt more like I was part of a community! I like to think reddit was a large city and kbin is a small village that is gradually growing.
I'm really glad I took the opportunity to swap from reddit to kbin, I already feel happier on the site and I haven't even been here for a week. I definitely feel like more people should swap which thankfully most likely will happen as reddit dies down.
