    Kbin is pure kbin, made by Ernest, who is lovely but sick. Can browse lemmy/kbin/mbin content. Interface is slick and prioritized, which means it can be a bit inefficient resource-wise.

    Mbin is kbin but with forked updates and frontend changes. Lighter load, little differences.

    Lemmy can browse kbin/mbin/lemmy content. Created by Davel and nutomic. I think you might know about the intricacies of its interface.

    Piefed, im not sure about. Very different interface and sorting.

      It seems Ernest recovered, and just decided to step away after his health got better!

      Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, I had to step away from actively working on Kbin and leave its further development to the community. Nevertheless, I am happy to see the project thriving, with a dedicated group of users and contributors who continue to push its vision forward.

      Open-source has always been important to me, and while I am no longer involved with Kbin, I still believe in the power of community and the potential of open technologies to shape the future of the internet.
