What's the benefit of using Kbin over Lemmy? (feddit.nl)

I see a very small minority of people using Kbin, but I don't understand why.

Is this just a coincidence and did some people choose Kbin over Lemmy or is there a good reason to use Kbin?

Thanks, now I understood.

So it's not like having a user in Lemmy.world Vs Lemmy.nl. It's beyond that.

Yeah both of those use the Lemmy software. Kbin is separate software. It works pretty much the same way as Lemmy in terms of there being multiple Kbin instances, they're just running on the different software.
