I started https://kbin.social/m/drupal yesterday after discovering that Kbin is also a PHP/Symfony based project. There is a lot of ActivityPub work being done in Drupal right now including https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub. I'm not an ActivityPub or Fediverse expert, but I did get excited about the possibility of the Drupal community replacing some of our corporately owned channels like Stack Overflow and Slack with a Kbin instance that replaces the groups.drupal.org. That site is still running on Drupal 7. Drupal 7 just got its fourth (and final?) EoL extension until January 2025. This is a great time to look at an "off the island" solution like Kbin.

I have a few questions, but I'm not even sure where to ask them.

I found m/kbin and m/kbinDevlog, m/kbinDesign, but I think my questions are more about policy on this specific kbin instance. If I'm asking these questions in the wrong place, please feel free to redirect me.

  1. Drupal currently maintains a feed of Drupal related blog posts that is aggregated at https://www.drupal.org/planet. I've been manually posting these to m/drupal, but I'd like to automate this. After looking at https://docs.kbin.pub/, it's my understanding is that kbin.social doesn't support posting through a API, but there are other ways to post with a bot. Is that allowed?

  2. Are there any examples of a Magazine or Kbin instance being run as a Stack Exchange-like QA site?
