Does kbin have multiple instances?

Yes.

Or is it basically a Lemmy-and-Mastodon singular hybrid instance?

Ummm... sure? At least kbin.social is a singular hybrid instance that has better-than-expected Lemmy-and-Mastodon compatibility. Not perfect yet, but pretty good.

Is it even open source?

Yes.

There's also fedia.io , another kbin insurance. kbin.social is run by the creator of the software

Thanks. Everyone seems to talk about kbin.social as if others don't exist.

Kbin is so new compared to Lemmy that there were only like 2 instances a few weeks ago and the second one wasn't in English lol. There are more now but kbin.social is still the biggest and the sentiment stuck around.
