Looking forward to the follow-up posts with technical details, if you do find the time to write them up ofc! As a new kbin user, my thanks for all the hard work and for welcoming us here <3
/kbin meta
Magazine dedicated to discussions about the kbin itself. Provide feedback, ask questions, suggest improvements, and engage in conversations related to the platform organization, policies, features, and community dynamics. ---- * Roadmap 2023 * m/kbinDevlog * m/kbinDesign
Thanks for the update!
My only caveat is that I wish I could see posts and comments from lemmy instances users when they post/comment on a kbin magazine.
Amazing work, and very much appreciated.
Exciting times indeed! Thanks for the updates, it's always interesting and fun to read these. Seems like you've adjusted pretty well considering the massive influx of users in less than 2 weeks, hopefully it gets a bit easier and less stressful from this point forward.
Thank you for the update
@ernest Regarding servers... did you have a look at Hetzner's server auctions. They tend to have 8c/16t servers for 40-50 bucks.
Also, I've seen kbin uses PHP at it's core. Do you consider switching to a golang stack, which is known to be more resource-friendly than PHP.
Thanks for the new home :)
Thank you and all the others for your hard work building this community!
Thanks for building this and thanks for keeping us informed about where it's going.
And thanks to everyone else that's contributing their time, skills or money to helping the project move forward and expand.
This is exactly the direction that I think social media should be headed.
Thank you for everything you and the contributors are doing!
Just commenting because it's unclear where I should ask these questions... but... is there a reason why individual kbin threads do not seem to show up on google search at all. Only magazines and tags seem to show up. Even the oldest posts do not seem to have search entries (unless I am missing something or looking at it wrong). I've tested some older lemmy threads and those do seem to show up.
Great update!
Keep up the good work.
I'd been doing a little shopping around over the past few weeks as I've been getting ready to properly leave my 11 year old (cringe) Reddit account behind. Lemmy does seem promising as well, but I do have some concerns about the developers, and while of course no one is perfect, as it's still the early days, I'd much prefer to throw my support behind people to whom I can do so guilt-free. So far at least, this has felt right up my alley, and while I am trying to use this moment to cut down a bit on my internet time in general, I'm definitely happy to be here!
@piotrsikora @ernest Is there an easy way to add all the new communities to an instance? I’ve noticed somehow you’ve been able to add what looks like every magazine, even if it’s newly created.
I could help add new magazines to a new instance others can migrate to, but there’s so many, and I don’t know how to keep up with any new ones created on lemmy or kbin.
Thank you for the update
It would be nice when you get a chance to see some sort of meter graph to show whether the buymeacoffee donations are not meeting, meeting, or exceeding costs of running the server and your time/effort spent (which should count too)
Why can a banned user from another instance continue to post in my magazine? This really hampers our ability to maintain our magazines to a standard.
You are doing a great job. It is really hard to keep an instance up with so many new users coming from the unexpected fast growing #RedditMigration.
Thanks for the update, thanks everybody who's helping ... and great decision handing off admin support
Keep it up! You are doing a great job.
'honest whole-hearted cathartic mood setting comment' jokes aside u are doing the needed work! we all appreciate it! I am too lazy to read all the comments.. is there a way to contribute more than donating (btw i didnt find a donate link.. maybe someone else did if so sticky is a needed function here xD)?
Went and grabbed it for you. Unfortunately, it's just this right now.

Really waiting on a way to donate monthly, because I would absolutely do that for this place. There wouldn't even have to be any of the typical Patreon perks for me, I just really like it here :)
