I have a new KBin server.

I am going to document my experience as a new KBin user and sysop.

Note that I already have experience as a Lemmy user & sysop. Some of that experience may be applicable here, too — but will see.

Logging into Kbin for the first time takes me here (shown in the screen shot).

The "/all" page.

You can get to the Kbin "Admin panel" from the menu that is shown when you hover your mouse over (or touch) your username in the top-right of the screen.

The Admin panel starts off by showing you a dashboard. But there are several other pages that make up the Admin panel:

• dashboard
• settings
• users
• pages
• federation

I don't see a way to turn-off or restricting registrations in the KBin admin panel.

I wonder if that is a feature that is planned — it seems pretty common with Fediverse software. Lemmy has it, for example.

Kbin seems to support something called:

Mercure
https://mercure.rocks/
https://mercure.rocks/spec

I don't think I have ever heard of Mercure before, but —

There is a setting to turn it on or off in the Admin Panel (at "/admin/settings").

It was already on — so on by default it seems.
