I really liked kbin too. Left Reddit early into the migration and went straight there. It got too buggy to use, so I went on holiday to bsky for a minute (not my thing). When I came back, it was gone, sadly. So, here I am.
Comment on Thoughts Around KBin's Current Status and the Importance of Community Migration Features

I just dropped Kbin from my bookmarks yesterday. I’m sad to see it gone, as it had some nice features.

mbin has several working instances such as fedia.io, and is community developed.

Pretty much all of the major issues that kbin had were long fixed in mbin, hence why I eventually switched.

I found kbin.run as well
DarkThoughts@fedia.io 5 weeks ago
Yes, that's one of the many mbin instances that you can find in the various instance lists linked on their Github page.

Is the app support better now? Last I heard, kbin didn’t have nice APIs that apps could use
DarkThoughts@fedia.io 5 weeks ago
There's an API now, but the only app I'm aware of is Interstellar, which only has a card view, which is not something for me and I also couldn't log back into it at some point. I think Eternity for Lemmy wants to add mbin support in the future but I have no idea how far away that is. So, app support yes, apps themselves, not so much.
