Hey, once again, I welcome the newcomers. It’s great to see new faces here :) It seems that we’ve managed to resolve the server issue. Unfortunately, I had to temporarily disable certain features, such as content auto-refresh. It will be restored at the beginning of next week after the infrastructure change, so you’ll get to experience kbin in its full glory then :) Currently, I’m working on a few critical things that I want to finish by Monday:
- Infrastructure improvement, optimization related to high traffic
- Admin guide - creating a new instance
- Fixes in notifications for post replies
- Attend to the new mod reports
- As soon as possible, I also want to get back to Codeberg Issues, private messages etc - there are many new topics there. Thanks to everyone for the that!
Some time ago I had an issue with bots, so registration process it might not be done perfectly. If the emial didn’t reach or wasn’t received in time, after a while and additional verification, the account will be manually activated.
If something important happens, please email me through the contact form - it’s the fastest way to reach me. Now I’ll get back to my tasks, and I wish you a great time exploring the fediverse :)
At some point, the registration will also be temporarily disabled. Nevertheless, we are still running on a budget VPS.
Have a great weekend!

Registration was no issue for me and the confirmation mail went through immediately. Meanwhile the beehaw registration has not seen an approval or disapproval for a couple days now. I definitely like the UI leaning more towards that of Reddit, although some features are missing, like the ability to collapse comment chains, individually or all of them (as in the Relay mobile client), or even starting them out collapsed by default (useful for very active submissions, which I think the Infinity mobile client had an option for).
For visibility sake I also want to push for calling “Magazines” “Bins” instead.
Collapsing a comment & chain is a huge missing feature for me. Also, one cannot get a permalink to a particular comment/reply nor a context link (ie the comment/reply a new comment/reply is responding to). Unless I’m missing that. I also wish the true/false difference in up/down votes were more distinct.
These are early days for a lot of these platforms, and really what’s been built on kbin so far is impressive as it is. We’re all used to feature sets that have existed for years so it’s easy to think they are simple to implement, but that’s not the case. I’m looking forward to seeing everything mature.
Edit: permalink is the timestamp/age next to your name at the top of the post.
