Issues with the functioning of kbin.social (kbin.social)
The issues that started occurring on Sunday turned out to be more serious than anticipated, extending beyond the application code. We are still working on resolving them to ensure the proper functioning of the website, but we need some more time. Apologies for any inconvenience.
Kbin badly needs a facelift (kbin.social)
With the abandonment of Artemis (formerly kmoon), kbin is now only really usable by the mobile site. The site is really not suited for mobile devices however, and there have been minimal user-facing changes in the last few months....

Kbin pages returning "404 page not found" (kbin.social)
The following pages are returning "404 page not found" consistently, for me at least. (Also, breaks infinite scroll on homepage.)...
What are your thoughts on Microblogs vs threads? (kbin.social)
When I first joined Kbin I posted threads due to being a reddit refugee but have started posting microblogs as time went on. I have also noticed some magazines have more threads while others have more microblog posts. For example kbinmeta has more threads while the most active magazine I moderate has mostly microblogs.
/kbin is feeling great right now (kbin.social)
Thanks for putting in something awesome, @ernest! Not sure if you want feedback, but functionality is as full as I know it to be. Maybe better. It is really fast right now! Hope you are on the mend.
Federation Delays (kbin.social)
Looks like Kbin is running a pretty huge federation backlog, as it's taking several hours for comments to federate out. I'm not knowledgeable about how these servers work, but is it teetering on collapsing or something?
Last few days are the least functional kbin has been for me since the July exodus. Just me? (kbin.social)
Just curious if it's somehow got to do with anything on my end. I'm generally desktop-only, firefox-only.
For the "Why are you so hostile to Threads federating?" people.. (kbin.social)

Why doesn't blocking work? (kbin.social)
I had to block a few users yesterday. Today, I noticed about ten notifications from users I've blocked—they replied to me, continued to make up lies about my heritage, and I continued to see their comments in my notifications....
Blocking and Downvote Stalking (kbin.social)
Should blocking a user still allow them to vote on your posts? I'd rather have nothing to do with particular users, and it seems that they continue to show up in the activity for every single post I make around kbin.
PSA: Upvote is not an upvote like you are used to (like Reddit) - "Boost" is the Reddit Upvote (kbin.social)
Like the title says, if you want to upvote something on KBin, you should use the Boost link, not the upvote button (Why? Don't know...)...
[UPDATE] Issues with the functioning of kbin.social (kbin.social)
The main issues with the improper functioning of the instance have been resolved, but it led to additional complications. Currently, using the instance should be quite comfortable, but I will continue to work intensively on a comprehensive solution for the next few days. Therefore, occasional interruptions or errors may still...
/kbin another quick update (kbin.social)
Good morning, last week we managed to address pressing issues related to infrastructure. Thank you once again for your assistance, Piotr. I will continue work in this area, but it will be less invasive and cumbersome. I have restored the test environments and am slowly getting back into coding....
I Still Like Kbin.social (kbin.social)
I still like posting here....
We're back (kbin.social)
Today, a technical server malfunction occurred. Unfortunately, it wasn't the planned update yet. The upcoming one will definitely be much shorter ;)...
