I read somewhere on here that Kbin doesn’t have an API available right now and that Artemis is making their own API through scraping. That’d play a big role if it’s true. I also wouldn’t be surprised if migration numbers were skewed towards Lemmy either.
Scraping is hard on a server though. You gotta download the entire page and all its data instead of just the info/action you requested. That’s one of the reasons other websites bother to make APIs, so bots and others DON’T start just scraping them.
