I started on kbin.social with this account, then moved out to kbin.cafe to try to avoid overloading the flagship instance and help out with decentralization. Then the admin went inactive, so I fled to kbin.run. This is active and I am satisfied, but it is also running Mbin, a fork of Kbin. I'd like to try regular Kbin again, but I don't want to go to the flagship instance and be yet another person concentrated there, only further centralizing the Fediverse when it was probably supposed to be decentralized. Is there a known instance with an active mod?

I also posted this already to kbinMeta through kbin.run but got very few responses, so I decided to check kbin.social in case something happened with the federation. It didn't show up when searching by New on kbin.social, so here I am, dragging out the old kbin.social account and posting again.

@ernest I tried to upvote this post and got an error. P.S. This happened just a few minutes ago.
Edit: I tried it again and it seems fixed.

kbinMeta

Just making sure that is this magazine's existence against kbin rules?

kbinMeta

I’d like to help out with decentralization, with users not all gathering in one place, so I don’t want to go to kbin.social or fedia.io. I did look at fedidb.org and the list of instances there, but it doesn’t tell me if the admin is active. I could just visit every instance listed there and check the admin’s profile for activity, but I figure putting this message out and seeing who replies is a pretty good test of which kbin instances have an active admin that takes me less time.

EDIT: Also saw this from Ernest, he’s eventually going to make sure abandoned instances have admins, so that’s good news.
