@Seraph According to https://status.lemm.ee the federation is not receiving data on real time from any kbin or mbin instance. I am following kbinmeta there and the most recent post is from three days ago. Fedia and kbin.run (both mbin) looks like two weeks ago is the earliest.
Edit: Looks like ot took about 21 hours for a kbin post to hit lemm.ee. No comments
..just post. So a 21 one hour delay so far.
@stopthatgirl7 Same. I poked around beehaw a bit, but I am not sure its is good fit for me. Think I will check out lemmy.world, they seem to be really communicative on mastodon during their upgrade process.
But that's all I know about it. I am looking into mbin,too...but I really don't much about it.
I have been spending most of my social media time on mastodon lately.
@HarkMahlberg Curious what other platforms, if you don't mind me asking?
@Maestro Really good to know!! Thanks for the heads up.
@stopthatgirl7 Agreed. I have been using Beehaw more and more as a "test". But I am not sure where I will land in the end though.
@HarkMahlberg I did the same thing since I am not sure of the longevity of kbin.
@roguetrick I really like kbin and want it to succeed, but between the outages, spam, and errors it is really difficult to use.
I have accounts on beehaw, mastodon, and pixelfed. I am open to other suggestions, but once I find a "home" (on kbin or otherwise) I will delete the others.
The Unofficial Kbin Guide is now available from the kbin.social FAQ page!

@GordonFreeman As of 2019:
Well, all went a bit quiet. Partly because the Montreal-based company leading the way, Nexia Biotechnologies, a company spun out of McGill University, swiftly went bust and sold its two GM goats — Sugar and Spice — to the Canada Agriculture Museum in Ottawa, which in 2013 removed its genetically-engineered goats from display amid public pressure.
Quiet momentum continues, however, under Dr Randy Lewis of Utah State University and his team. Though he is unaware of the whereabouts of Sugar and Spice today, his lab looks after over twenty goats capable of producing silky milk.

@EdenRester I try to set a reading schedule. Nothing prolific, just some time where I can sit down uninterrupted and read. It is usually later in the evening, after the day has calmed down a bit. Sometimes in that time box, I knock out several chapters of a book. Other times, I can barely get through a few pages.
@Arotrios Thank you. That is a great explanation.
@Arotrios Interestingly enough, I can see my kbin posts in Mastodon as https://mastodon.social/@[email protected], but it seems that those posts do not appear in my Mastodon timeline under the hashtags that I follow. For example, if I post something that includes #nasa, I do not see that post in Mastodon under #nasa. However, I do see it as a post under https://mastodon.social/@[email protected].
I guess I am still just learning how it all works.
@sentientloom #kbin for the win!
@stopthatgirl7 This seems like quite the lift and shift. Moving to a new platform would definitely split their user based. I would also thin that any form of aggressive defederation would split their user base as well. From what I can tell, there are not many (if any) fediverse platforms that have the level of moderation tools they they are looking for.
Unfortunately, It just looks like they are in a tight spot. One the could make or break that community.
@geosoco Reduce, Report, & Block.
@HipPriest @IzzyData @Whiskeyomega Another vote for kbin. There is:
Kbin has a great community and I have not run into any problem users ... mods or otherwise. So, I say, welcome aboard!
@cragsand What about removing English, saving, and adding it back. Also, maybe clearing the cache will help.
@ernest Don't let someone with the red ass, who by the way is using a self-described beta product for free and without ads) get you down. You need to take care of yourself and your family first. We will manage. I spend more time on kbin than I do on reddit and mastodon combined. The few little glitches I have hit here and there are nothing. This is a solid product and I have a blast using it!
If anyone says that /kbin is dying ... well I will leave this right here:
Kudos to you @ernest and everyone else who contributes to the project!
Just a few different options:
- Project Hail Mary (Scifi)
