I wanted give a try to kbin.social but not sure how private is the instance, the interface looks really nice but im worried about its privacy and how private is compared with Lemmy?

What do you mean? Are private messages viewable by other users? Or other fediverse admins (that can also be everybody with a computer and a internet connection)
They are potentially viewable by admins since they’re not encrypted end to end and are stored in the database. It’s why there’s a warning message when you try to send someone a DM.
Good to know! Thanks for the explanation.
