Same here. I like the look, usability and layout of Kbin better. I do wish there were more users here at kbin.social, though, as the federated feed is more lively on the large Lemmy instances.
kbin.social has more MAU (Monthly Active Users) now, than all Lemmy combined! That is of course effect of the spike this month and shall fade only on July, but did you already see activity on kbin.social alone fading?
If I understand how the fediverse works (an open question :-)), the amount of activity on the home page/"all" feed/federated feed of an instance is dependent on how many magazines/communities the members are subscribed to. I've noticed that the "All" feed of the most established Lemmy instances have more posts than here at kbin.social. I would anticipate that situation improving over time as the community here grows and people increase the number of subscriptions they have. I would expect more (and more active) local magazines over time here, as well.
I suspect that may have something to do with kbin.social's federation not working during it's initial growth period. Lots of users joined up but could only subscribe to local communities. The more we embrace federated content the smaller the differences between each platform/instance.
Kbin.social is the largest single instance in the Threadiverse.
