As you noticed, I had to temporarily enable DDoS protection. Someone is trying quite effectively to distract me from my activities ;p Unfortunately, this may cause some issues with the federation. I will try to cut off the traffic as soon as possible and return to normal operation. Thank you for all your support and patience! :)

Glad to see kbin taking off. I prefer it over lemmy and the magazine concept has helped me explain it to others. I tell people kbin is like a shop. Anyone can set up their own shop. Then people can create magazines, and in those magazines, posts are like articles and you can comment on those articles. But this shop can also see the magazines in other shops etc. Its a bit arbitrary but it's actually helped people understand the fediverse in terms they understand

Another explanation, also valid: /kbin is also like a bookstore - with people being able to create their own magazines (or even newspapers), consisting of long-form articles, but also of short notes (fitting a toot on Mastodon). And it contains also magazines from other bookstores, as they collaborate with /kbin. And people are able to write their own pieces on every magazine, not only these, which they own!

I loved magazine name of "subfeddit" since first sight, and now, I love this dual meaning even more!
