Yes, I've been much more active on kbin that I was on Reddit. Mostly because I'd like to help build the new community, but also because I find it engaging and welcoming.
yeh true. eg redditors are using lemmy to do stuff and kbin for surfing. at least i'm doing that simply because the feed loads up faster and has more content
oh, i do, i'm using lemmy for modding and content posting and then browsing on kbin
I wonder is there some statistics about kbin.social performance? I see 503 quite often, at times the site is barely usable with it constantly going 503.
Fediverse observer lists uptime for each instance but I think it is measured over a very long period of time because many are near 100% which I don't think reflects the performance with increased usage this past week.
I took a look on kbin code and only vendor folder has 17k files - not sure how many of them for use but it's a lot.
I tried to run kbin on my localhost and so far nothing.
Stats are here https://kbin.social/stats
Btw I had once DB with 11M rows and it was fine.

This isn't too shabby. Thanks!
A lot of the 88,000 accounts were made in the week leading up to the blackout as well. I started looking elsewhere as soon as Lawrence announced Sync was shutting down instead of waiting for the blackout to start.
Yep, I made my account just before the blackout started because I knew there would be chaos when the big wave hit.
I have done the same with Apollo announcement. I created my kbin account a few days before the blackout, just in case it would be to difficult to register during the blackout.
I love kbin! Im trying to figure out Lemmy. I can't wait to see what the fediverse will be like in the future.
I'm using Native Alpha for it
Huh, TIL about Native Alpha. Sounds neat!
Folks should definitely donate! I recently had a bit of a windfall and I really want this place to succeed, so I'm planning on donating a few hundred dollars. @ernest, I really hope you get an open collective or Patreon account set up. I'll happily and freely donate 2x what Reddit would demand of their users. I'm sure I'm not alone!
Woohoo! Also:
Mastodon numbers as of a half hour ago:
12,553,408 accounts
+2,841 in the last hour
+63,207 in the last day
+320,360 in the last week
(via https://mastodon.social/@mastodonusercount (Is there a similar account that tracks Lemmy or kbin user counts?))

Is this the one and only ifrostbolt?
I've been on kbin all day more or less and haven't seen a single error. This is the best I've ever had the site run.
Are you using the PWA? I've been experiencing a lot of 503 errors but it appears to be a PWA only issue. For example I couldn't open this thread in the PWA but I copied the link address for the PWA for this thread and pasted it into Chrome and the thread opened just fine. This has been a recurring issue.
thanks for using Leebra!
