Hi all,
I’m a developer that has an interest in online communities, fediverse software and, at a point in the very recent past, consuming and creating a lot of Reddit content. Discontented with regards to the direction Reddit has taken, I’ve taken it upon myself to start a small, general-purpose instance to give back to the /kbin community and help reduce load. The instance is hosted on a secure, well-equipped dedicated server and should support a large influx of users and communities. I will be regularly administrating it (and may even seek fellow admins); but ideally, administration will be hands-off and moderators will take onus for their magazines.
Come check us out at kbin.cafe. I’ll be happy to answer any lingering questions in this thread.
Please be sure to report any issues by messaging me or emailing us at the address found in the linked post. Currently some avatars for some federated magazines are missing, but this will be resolved soon.
Thanks for reading!
Unfortunately, as of right now, no. This may change in the future, but currently it’s best to decide on a Kbin instance early on so you don’t have too many posts and comments that will be left behind.
There’s also the possibility of having multiple accounts, but that’s cumbersome for a multitude of reasons.
This functionality is on the radar but with the amount of work happening right now on more important things, I’m not sure where this will fall on the roadmap.
