Fediverse

I really like KBin! I wish Ernest the best with his health, and hope development of the project will continue in the future. In the meantime I have created this new account on fedia.io and will be exploring mbin!

I've moved to fedia.io (mbin)

kbin.social is always down, always spitting our errors/etc.

I am not sure if this has been posted here, but @[email protected] posted this on codeberg a couple weeks ago.

”I have been away from home for a long time now and do not have all accesses. I will try to restore access in the coming days. The care of the instance will also be handed over.”

I sincerely hope Ernest is able to get back on his feet; his health hasn’t been good since the beginning of the year. Kbin is a great concept.

Welcome to Mbin :)

I only look into kbin.social occasionally to see if they finally got their spam problem under control. They were nice maybe a year ago, but now it is a dumpster fire with half the main page being ads for drugs and junk services.

I gave up on kbin social months ago when it went down with no idea when it would be working again. I ended up going over to lemmy.world.

I've been on kbin.melroy and it's pretty stable most of the time. Like @dumples, I keep both accounts (kbin.social) but mainly live on melroy

I still have my kbin.social account as well as this current one. Its good to have back ups for both

The admin has been having medical issues and has been MIA for months. Last week there was a roumors about him potentially handing over the server but seems nothing come of it.

made this one during the last one and been spending more time on it.

fedia switched when i was on it

Switched a good while ago already because I felt the development wasn't really going anywhere. Checked yesterday again and it is 95% spam there and weird federation issues even with its own instance, like kbin.meta only shows 7 month old posts, from within .social, even though there's clearly new ones. Super weird.

I have been on kbin.run (kinda confusing name lol) for awhile now because of the instability of of .social and the added functionality of mbin. For some reason .run's certificate doesn't work with my home computer's browser (Waterfox) so I made a fedia.io account as well.

I'm satisfied with the mobile web interface for m/kbin so I don't feel a need for a dedicated app.

I started with kbin but left it for lemmy + mastodon. It was not mature enough to handle so many users (which was unexpected by its own creator). Too many issues with bots, the instance itself, and the lack of mobile apps motivated me to move on. It’s sad because it’s creator seemed pretty invested into its project (and I loved the UI, and the ability to get both a Reddit-like and a Twitter-like experience).
