If that's just a single site, then it could develop all the same centralization issues that started this mess.

It's why we always link to join-lemmy.org , and not any single instance when recommending lemmy.

I totally agree, I just wanted to share one that I found yesterday that I though was easy for others to get into an check it out without any friction. Also, at least to me, this site is lesser known. I didn't even see it on the Lemmy server list. The friction for some users prevents adoption IMHO. Some will sign up here, others on Lemmy, others beehaw, etc

It's not on the Lemmy server list because it's not a Lemmy server. It's a kbin server. Different software, just interoperable.

Thanks for clarifying! I'm still new and learning :)

Happy to help! Fediverse stuff can take some time to wrap your head around because there's no perfect analogy.

Should even /kbin remain a single-server software forever, other /kbin-compatible software will still exist (like Lemmy). Because of it, I don't fear current /kbin quasi-centralisation.

Is it even a single server now? They had a handful of instances listed when I first heard about it a few weeks ago, and while I haven't gotten it to build yet, build and setup instructions are on the git repo.

Exactly what it says on the tin: a software with only one instance. Yes, I made a mental shortcut - I am listing different (but foreign or private) instances in a different comment.
