Looks like KBin has an edge over Lemmy now in terms of monthly active users.
It's obviously a pretty silly thing, and is not in any way indicative of which project is "better" or more "long-term viable" or anything — instances of both federate with one another, and with the rest of fedi, so it's all one happy family.
That said, it's notable. KBin is a relative newcomer to the "Reddit-like fedi instance" game, and also does not have the tankie baggage.
Anyway, the more, the merrier!

Lemmy devs are tankies.
I keep hearing similar things, but not a single person has linked to a comment or anything the devs have actually said.
Where can I read about this? I want to see what they said.

I don't see much proof there outside of some "this definitely happened" type thing. Not that I don't believe them but that's not the strongest proof.
Here is some evidence, not proof but a strong lead: Lemmy documentation . In paragraph 6+7 or so.
To me that looks like a fairly non-controversial perspective amongst leftists and communists (especially internationally). But that's just my (communist) perspective.
