Kbin has seen a staggering amount of growth in the past few weeks, and with it a bunch of discussion about issues and bugs.
Constructive criticism will help make kbin even greater, but i wanted to take some time to appreciate how great of an app it has been to use these past few weeks, and to the sole developer @ernest for all the long hours put in to keep things running smoothly.
Keep up the great work!
yes. ernest is the admin and host of kbin.social. however, if ernest abuses his power then people can easily spin up new instances of kbin (and have already done so) and you can simply use that instead. Or you can host your own instance. and all of the content is shared across them.
Or you can host your own instance
People keep saying that, but I can’t find any good guides on how to do so.
that’s because kbin is hardly a month old and still a wip. unfortunately that means to get something up is gonna be more technical.
There’s someone on the issue tracker writing a guide. Let me dig up a link.
EDIT: It went into the main repository two weeks ago. Here’s the PR for that initial commit:
https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/409
It looks like the author of the guide – who is not Ernest – is maintaining a branch where they’re writing said guide and that the last commits on that branch are only 11 hours old as of this writing and haven’t yet been merged into the main kbin repo. Here’s their WIP guide, about as fresh as you’re gonna get admin docs for kbin:

The main repository’s admin docs are here:
