Hi all, so it has been a couple weeks since the initial launch of kbin.run and I’m curious to hear what people’s opinions are and how they like the overall experience here vs. other kbin instances. Generally speaking, I think kbin’s stability has greatly improved since launch as the first turn on was a very haphazard attempt at getting an instance going using very limited documentation to configure all the interconnected services. There are still a couple of hacks in place to keep federation working smoothly, but I do anticipate official code changes in the near future will greatly improve the overall kbin experience.

I honestly don’t know how many people actively utilize kbin.run, but I do see we have 56 registered users (2 pending deletion) as of posting this thread. The primary server that runs the site is hardly breaking a sweat, so tell your friends to join us if they’re looking for a lightly loaded instance.

Also, if you’re searching for a community that seems to be missing in the fediverse, feel free to create a magazine to support it here. I made a few that I’m interested to see gain some momentum, but there’s nothing stopping anyone else from doing the same.

Thanks as always and enjoy!

EDIT: I’ve added the monthly cost breakdown for kbin.run to the FAQ page.

    Glad to hear it resolved itself!

    I created a GitHub issue for that redirect bug since I think it’s related to this being a “bare metal” install and not docker as I can’t seem to replicate the issue in my docker dev environment, but I haven’t spent too much time digging into it. We’ll see if someone else solves it before I do, but I think it might be a Nginx config issue with the recent API addition… TBD.
