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?

It's like lemmy + mastodon - you can microbilor and boost posts and comments. But after using it for a while, I switched back to lemmy because:

~~it has no API~~ AFAICT the API is read-only, so there aren't any apps (the dev is making one but I don't think it's finished and can't compile it)
it has some performance issues
it doesn't work sometimes
the UI looks worse
there are way less instances of it
it's written in php instead of rust
