Issues with the functioning of kbin.social (kbin.social)

The issues that started occurring on Sunday turned out to be more serious than anticipated, extending beyond the application code. We are still working on resolving them to ensure the proper functioning of the website, but we need some more time. Apologies for any inconvenience.

you need to have an honest conversation with yourself before you address any further issues publicly.

from “if the update isn’t out by september consider this project dead” to “i’ll be working on it for a few hours then it should be good to go” you clearly have trouble estimating the amount and scope of work necessary to maintain a site of this caliber.

i’m not trying to be insulting to you, but you need to understand it’s starting to get tiring as a user too. take stock of what you are doing and pause for a moment before you give your users a defined timeframe.

the post where you said it would be a few hours is still up and unedited. that was 3 days ago. i wouldn’t have minded you saying “it will be a few days, maybe a week or longer” at the get-go but now we’re approaching 1000% estimated time to recovery and it feels like you are no closer than you were 3 days ago. it’s insulting and it definitely doesn’t need to be that way.

Good luck trying to convince this man. I'm sad to say that what I predicted, now two months ago, is happening. My advice; don't rely on kbin.social, find another instance (I recommend Mbin) or make one of your own.

Fedia.io can't even send a confirmation mail. lol

There was an issue submitting this request. There may be no account associated with that email or perhaps it is already activated.

There are a lot of instances, just keep looking. Find the communities/instances you like, and subscribe to them from whatever quick, lightly-used, geographically-close to you instance you find to register on.

There's literally no location indicator for the instances servers so I'm not sure how you expect me to do that. And smaller instances are more likely to get abandoned, go down and vanish.
