    Oh damn, that’s us!!

    We’d wondered where the nearly 1.9k subscribers came from completely out of nowhere!

    So, yeah, a lot of people are hating on us for creating one of Kbin and one on Lemmy, but we had our reasons: Basically, neither handled images very well and we saw that these two services did basically the same thing and that typically leads to the weaker project getting cancelled down the line, so we decided our safest bet was just to make one of each, just in case it all ended in bad blood, de-federation, and a total loss of data. Better safe than sorry.

    We might consolidate them later, but for now just pick whichever you like best. :)
