/kbin is dead. Has been since last year. The last instances that haven't moved to Mbin are withering away.
However, in the "Lemmy clone" category, there's also PieFed, and Sublinks is still in development.
Also, the Facebook alternative Friendica ("Facebook alternative" not as in "Facebook clone", but as in "better than Facebook") has had groups since its launch in, 2010, five and a half years before Mastodon. Hubzilla has had groups since 2012 when it still was a Friendica fork named Red. (streams) (2021) and Forte (2024) have groups, too. All four are part of the same software family, created by the same developer. And interacting with their groups from Mastodon is somewhat smoother than interacting with a Lemmy community.
On Friendica, a group is simply another user account, but with different settings: In "Mastodon speak", it automatically boosts any DM sent to it to all its followers. In reality, it's a little more complicated because, unlike Mastodon, Friendica has a concept of threaded conversations. (No, seriously, Mastodon doesn't have it. If you think Mastodon has it, use Friendica for a year or two as your only daily driver, and then think again.)
Likewise, on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte, it's another channel with similar settings.

I mean, the Fediverse already has Lemmy, KBin, and MBin.
So there's already an ecosystem of pre-built communities out there.
