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.

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. 😂️

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.

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.

cutitdown,

Interesting. For some reason kbin sounds better than lemmy to me, but don't super love either.

nightauthor,
@nightauthor@kbin.social avatar

Both are still better than “beehaw”

elscallr,

I say "the lemmybins"

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”.

What about "quou-been"?

Mars2k21,
@Mars2k21@kbin.social avatar

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.

Peruvian_Skies,
@Peruvian_Skies@kbin.social avatar

"Cabin" with a strong emphasis on the first syllable seems hillarious though.

@WorseDoughnut@kbin.social avatar

Same, k-anything has just been beaten into my brain as "oh a KDE app!"
