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!

Can you link me to a brief explanation on how the fediverse/instances work?
It is something I am still not fully grasping. For example can there but duplicate magazine names on different instances or is kbin.videos link to all the same threads regardless of instance?
Here you go https://fediverse.party/en/fediverse/
I appreciate the link but that really doesn’t explain much to me.
I understand different instances allow for decentralization. But how are they connected or are they connected? Do I see other instances on kbin.social?
I thought this explanation by /u/buried_treasure does a great job explaining this in an easy to understand way.
