First, I think Ernest has done a fantastic job and I’ve been rooting for him this whole time. But it’s becoming clear it’s all too much for him without the support of a larger team.
Over the last several months there have been multiple posts about the spam problems on this instance, both here and on other instances. We’ve been fortunate so far they haven’t simply defederated us.
Now when I go to the Hot page it’s 12 hours out of date.
It’s with a heavy heart I looked into a kbin fork mentioned in another thread in this magazine: Mbin.
GitHub: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin
Instance list: https://fedidb.org/software/mbin
The largest instance: https://fedia.io/
I’ll miss you Kbin. It’s been good. Thanks Ernest!
It’s not the purpose of this post to support any particular instance. Feel free to mention your own alternatives below.
Is there a list anywhere of different kbin instances? I don’t want to give up on kbin, but I might have to give up on social.
