We all know that lemmy.world is the most popular instance, but how does it compare to kbin.social? Which do you think will be more popular in the long run?

Average Lemmy user and Kbin user counts as a whole across all instances are about even, but the cool thing about it is that it doesn't matter. Any user on any lemmy OR Kbin instance can access content on any other instance, barring any "defederation" activities by the instance owners.

I've searched for Lemmy world communities on kbin and came up dry. There's a problem of communication between the sites.

Uhm, hi? 😁

There are occasional issues depending on traffic but in my experience it generally works pretty well. Keep in mind that kbin has a slightly different syntax for adding completely new communities that nobody has subscribed to yet, it's not !x@y but rather @x@y and it only works in search, not all communities, tab.

Still no. Search on kbin @lemmyworldcommunity@Lemmy.world

Yields empty result

There is no community called "lemmyworldcommunity" on lemmy.world (upper or lower case also matters) so i cant check your example but in other cases it works fine for me

I was actually trying to see if my own community was visible on other fediverse services. https://lemmy.world/c/xphiles

But even other communities with a higher subscriber count do not show in the kbin search.

I see many lemmy.ml results, though with population statistics that seem out of date.
