Looks like Kbin is running a pretty huge federation backlog, as it’s taking several hours for comments to federate out. I’m not knowledgeable about how these servers work, but is it teetering on collapsing or something?
I’m a big fan of Kbin but the project is a total mess right now and kbin.social is always down or only partially working. And there’s next to no communication about what’s happening.
I don’t wanna do it but it might be time to pull up stakes and figure something else out.
I really like kbin, but honestly, with as unstable as it is and how little information is coming out about what’s going on (seriously, there needs to at least be a Mastodon account we can check for updates or information when kbin social is down), I’m seriously considering making a lemmy account and moving over. It’s frustrating, because I do really prefer kbin, but this is beyond frustrating.
With how much you post, I’d imagine it’d be a problem for you. Posting something only for it to show up on their new feeds 3 hours later with zero votes will likely result in your stuff not being seen. Also makes it hard for @PugJesus modding.
@stopthatgirl7 Agreed. I have been using Beehaw more and more as a “test”. But I am not sure where I will land in the end though.
If you haven’t been following, there’s a chance that Beehaw will defederate from everyone and go solo in the future. So, you may want to create a test account somewhere else.
Yeah, I switched over to an mbin instance; it was just too unstable and unpredictable for me on kbin.
Are the Mbin instances well federated so you’re still getting about the same mix of content? They all seem pretty small in terms of subscriber count
