Chuso Pérez<p>Has kbin been abandoned?</p><p>I know they always struggled with maintenance, but the main instance (kbin.social) has been down for weeks, the website (kbin.pub) is also down and the repo (codeberg.org/kbin) hasn&#39;t been updated in months.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://kbin.social/m/AskKbin" class="u-url mention">@<span>AskKbin</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://kbin.social/u/kbinMeta" class="u-url mention">@<span>kbinMeta</span></a></span></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/kbin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>kbin</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AskKbin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AskKbin</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/kbinMeta" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>kbinMeta</span></a></p>

HeartyBeast<p>Yeh, I need a Xanax after that.</p>
BiggestBulb 💡🏳️‍🌈🧑‍💻<p>It's very sad seeing <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/kbin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kbin</span></a> down so often and for so long. Sadly, it seems like it's dying at a rapid pace.</p><p>What are your thoughts on what could have saved it / will save it?</p><p>I think the following would / will save it: </p><p>- a proper Android / iOS app<br>- spam protection<br>- error redundancies (making servers roll back upon too many errors)<br>- (HOT TAKE) using a better-suited framework for the site (like Next.js or Remix)<br>- better theming (using a component library)</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/mbin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mbin</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/kbinmeta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kbinmeta</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/kbinrun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kbinrun</span></a></p>

PugJesus<p>Pictures not showing up?</p><p>Been getting a lot of 404s in Federation and blank icons here in Kbin for pictures uploaded here on Kbin. Didn't have this problem until a couple of days ago. Is this a known issue?

livus<p>Oh that's interesting.</p> <p>Collections is useful, I use it regularly.</p>
Facni<p>Is the Kbin source outdated compared to kbin.social?</p><p>I just realized that some features like "Collections" are not available in other Kbin instances nor in Mbin when in theory they all use 0.10.1.... <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/kbinMeta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kbinMeta</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/1061939" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/10619</span><span class="invisible">39</span></a></p>

Auster<p>Ah, I see.</p> <p>I'm concerned about Nijimiss now too.</p>
Auster<p>You mean Nijimiss? I'm running the searches for that within Kbin Social, and not the opposite, and tinkering with the VPN, Kbin doesn't seem to have problems with EU IPs (isn't it from Poland? I have the impression I read something on that previously).</p>

Hegar<p>Could blocked magazines no longer appear in Random Post and Random Thread sidebars?</p><p>A lot of the larger abandoned magazines are just spam pools now. I don't see their posts in my feed, but I don't like that the two sidesbars of random posts and threads are now just spam advertising sidebars. I triedblocking the magazines, but doesn't that prevent the posts from showing in those sidebars.... <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/kbinMeta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kbinMeta</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/1012259" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/10122</span><span class="invisible">59</span></a></p>
PugJesus<p>I got a few almost immediately after requesting them, though I did it just after the feature was released.</p>
CharlesReed<p>Have you been successful in obtaining ownership or moderation to any abandoned mags? I've requested to a couple that I occasionally participate in just in case they get targeted for spam, but I haven't heard yea or nay either way.</p>
PugJesus<p>Yeah, I can't find it in abandoned mags, else I would have just taken it and cleaned it up.</p>
HeartyBeast<p>I think I volunteered to help moderate it about 3 months ago 😕</p>
Haus<p>Please turn off science</p><p>3 or 4 spam "Buy Phloboxidril Now In Your Area" posts per day were tolerable. 20 to 50 aren't. I know I could block the magazine, but I'm just one of the many who are subjected to it. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/kbinMeta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kbinMeta</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/987648" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/98764</span><span class="invisible">8</span></a></p>
