What is the practical difference between the main instances of kbin and mbin, from a users perspective? (kbin.social)

When spam started to become overwhelming here I signed up to the largest mbin instance, Fedia.io. On one hand it runs well and isn't overrun with spam posts. On the other, it's missing some communities that are active on kbin.social.

It also doesn't have a meta or askmbin type of community, like kbin does.

Are there any other differences I should consider before deciding which of the two to drop?

Edit: I also got a server error when I posted this and thought my post had been lost. Phew! This doesn't happen on Fedia.io.

Unless fedia.io has blocked or defederated with kbin.social, you should be able to fully participate in those kbin.social communities from fedia.io

I’m on a lemmy server lemm.ee and am able to see and comment on this post in kbin.social. That’s the beauty of the fediverse.

The world appear in the aggregator but when I searched specifically for one in particular, I wasn’t found. Just now it works so I don’t know what changed. Thanks for pointing that out, I wouldn’t have tried again.
