Kay-bin, obviously.
-
Originally thought cabin but didn’t stick. Kay-bin 100%.
-
Same here. But I'd not be surprised if we have Cabin for kbin at some point.

-
M'k'bin
-

-

@rodhlann Hmmmkayyybean

K'bin sounds more like I'm answering a k'nock at the door but with a cold.
-
Kay-bin for sure. Never occurred to me to pronounce it the other way
-
Kay-bin.
-
Who the fuck says k'bin?
-
Kay-bin seems like the only correct way. Cabin or K'bin just feels wrong for no particular reason. The name honestly just makes me think of KDE.
-
Same, k-anything has just been beaten into my brain as "oh a KDE app!"
-
"Cabin" with a strong emphasis on the first syllable seems hillarious though.
-
-
Kay-bin. Mostly because when I first saw the name I assumed it was a KDE package.
-
I say kay-bin, because it kind of looks like it should sound like that, imo.
K'bin feels like I'm just trying to make the word as short as possible.
Cabin or Ki-bin both feel like I'm adding new letters just because. To me, it would be like calling reddit "reddita" or "reedit".
-
The K has got to be a silent one. This place is 'bin!
-
No, the leading forward slash is silent.
-
-
Non-native speaker here. I get kay-bin, but how are you supposed to say k'bin?
-
Kuh-bin, with the first syllable short and emphasis on the second.
-
like "book bin" but without the "boo"
-
like kah-bin
-
i do kih bin. kih rhyming with like "fi" in fill or "pi" in pill
-
-
-
I pronounce it "kibin"🙃
-
Kibin
-
same here, i didnt know i was in the minority on this one lol
-
-
Rhymes with gaben
-
Okay so I'm not crazy! Thought so
-
-
In spanish you are likely to default to k'bin (cabin).
Letter K pronunciation varies across the globe, so I think everyone will have variations of it.
-
I say “Kay-bee”; the n is silent
-
I say kay-bin, but for a third option: cabin
-
What about "quou-been"?
-
When I refer to the threadiverse in general (including “I saw a post on on…”) I just say lemmy. I actually really dislike the name “kbin”.
No sense in explaining it tho, cuz if you don’t get it, you won’t get it.
-
Interesting. For some reason kbin sounds better than lemmy to me, but don't super love either.
-
Both are still better than “beehaw”
-
-
I say "the lemmybins"
-
-
kih-bin
-
KAY bin ..... right? (RIGHT??
-
I pronounce it, 'Freedom'.
-
Vulcan says "k'bin".
-
kevin like in "Kevin Bacon"
-
Native English speakers rarely realize how similar B and V sounds are virtually everywhere else in the world.
-
In Spanish they are not similar, but both letters represent the same sound, literally.
-

-
Kay-bin.
It reminds me of the property manager at my first apartment, back in 1990. She spelled her name "K'ren", and I assumed it was pronounced either Karen, or kuh-Ren. Nope. It was "KAAAAYYY-WRREE-NNN", three syllables in her very southern accent. The stress was on both of the first two syllables. 😂️
