PSA: Upvote is not an upvote like you are used to (like Reddit) - "Boost" is the Reddit Upvote (kbin.social)
Like the title says, if you want to upvote something on KBin, you should use the Boost link, not the upvote button (Why? Don't know...)...
PSA: while upvoting exists, to get the "move closer to the top" effect that reddit's upvote had, you need to click boost (kbin.social)
a small difference, but important to how people use the site
Fuck Reddit u̶p̶v̶o̶t̶e̶ boost party! (kbin.social)
The apps have all gone offline, welcome aboard to all the other refugees, fuck /u/spez!

/kbin project management costs, financing, future plans (kbin.social)
I wrote the first line of code for /kbin on January 14, 2021. Around this time, I started working remotely and decided that the time I used to spend commuting to the office would be devoted to /kbin. Throughout this entire period, /kbin has been a hobby project that I developed in my free time. It was also when Lemmy started...

/kbin server update - or how the server didn't blow up (kbin.social)
Currently, on the main instance, people have created 40191 accounts (+214 marked as deleted). I don't know how many are active because I don't monitor it, but once again, I greet all of you here :) In recent days, the traffic on the website has been overwhelming. It's definitely too much for the basic docker-compose setup,...
Fediverse won't replace Reddit as long as Lemmy is the main platform being promoted (kbin.social)
Think about things from the point of view of someone who has never used Reddit or the fediverse, but you've heard about them both from recent news articles and want to see what they are about....

A small FAQ to hopefully help new users to kbin (updated June 11 17:00 GMT) (kilioa.org)
I wanted to post this here since I want to help as much as I can in my own way to people coming here for the first time. I hope it is useful and helpful!

While larger, more general communities are thriving on the Fediverse - I'm missing out on the niche communities (kbin.social)
Gaming, news, tech, general literature. All of these are somewhat thriving, with a steady influx of posts and comments. At the same time, the userbase is sorely lacking for more niche communities. In my case it'd be stuff like poetry, yoga, religion, linguistics, meditation. Or many other communities I'd doubt they'd form a...

Lemmy.ml is blocking all requests from /kbin Instances (kbin.social)
I discovered yesterday evening that Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances. Specifically, a 403 'access denied' is returned when the user agent contains "kbinBot" anywhere in the string. This has been causing a cascade of failures with federation for many server owners, flooding the message...
