kbin.social is getting the hug of death right now, consider signing up for another instance (kbin.social)

Hey Reddit refugees! You may have noticed that kbin.social is taking forever to load because of all of the traffic it's getting.

Luckily, there are a few other kbin instances that you can use right now! kilioa.org and fedia.io have recently popped up over the last few days, and they're still running smoothly during the Reddit blackout. They're also still federating with Lemmy, so you can see posts from beehaw.org and lemmy.ml (federation is currently disabled on kbin.social due to the cloudflare protection).

So does this mean kbin is not gonna work out?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not at all! We just need a combination of A) more new instances popping up, B) some people moving to other instances because they like them better or they run faster, and C) kbin.social admins scaling up this instance. It's just an adjustment process.

The good thing about fediverse services is that as long as there are people willing to throw up a server, you can just keep scaling - unlike on a centralised service where if the owner doesn't scale, that's tough.

I love your username :)

How do I move to another instance if I signed up at .social?
