    It seems to me that there are several factors. Firstly, the instance was created recently, about 1-2 months ago. There wasn’t even an official instance opening, you know, with cake and confetti ;) During this time, I’ve been observing people on the Fediverse. It’s unlikely that any follows were given by chance. Later on, wonderful people who discovered kbin did the rest. That’s how it is in the Fediverse. In the beginning, not everything is easy and obvious, but if you put enough heart and effort into it, it pays off in the future.

          Me too. I’ve been on the internet since 2013, but its the first time I have ever felt part of a community.

            this is what I wanted but couldn’t find on the site which must not be named. I feel blessed to watch and contribute to the growth.

      I saw kbin recommended by someone on Reddit (my apologies for not being able to give them credit - I didn’t clock the username) and out of all the alternatives shared that I checked out, this one just felt right. If that makes sense. Thank you for creating such a wonderful space!

        this was my experience as well. I visited /r/redditalternatives, saw someone mention kbin, I checked it out and it felt right. So here I am.

    That’s basically a stadium full of people. Well except that most people here probably have never seen a stadium from the inside.

    Nerds.
