The search form has been fixed (if you were experiencing this issue). This time, the Docker recreate may take a bit longer. Moving forward, when making changes, I will create pull requests like everyone else and ask for your review. Sorry for the inconvenience. Soon, the first tagged release will also be available. It’s time to start doing things the right way.
“#kbin:matrix.org” - It’s the best place to get information or assistance regarding kbin instance administration.

The kbin.social instance may experience intermittent interruptions or temporary slowdowns over the next few days. We want to test certain things that are only visible at a larger scale. This will benefit all other instances as all findings will be thoroughly described and shared.
Tomorrow, I will formally hand over the server’s maintenance, so the upcoming days and weeks will focus on stabilization. Until now, the experience of kbin from an administrator’s perspective could be quite frustrating.
Stay tuned
Hey @ernest, I bought you a couple of coffees from your About page link and I’ve invited others to do the same. But is that enough? How do you handle all this traffic? Is buymeacoffe.com your only revenue source for this project? Anyway, keep up the good work and thank you for your frequent updates and open dialogue.
There’s a sponsor, but I’m not sure if it’s just this one or more, bottom of this page for details https://nlnet.nl/project/Kbin/
Very interesting, tl;dr it’s a grant worth between €5k-€50k. I’m glad the EU is investing in online privacy and trust (in their words).
It has nothing to do with the EU. It’s a private foundation. They used to own one of Europe’s first big ISPs. They sold it and the money is now used to fund projects like kbin. See https://nlnet.nl/foundation/
They do absolutely great work. I did a project for them a long time ago (hi Michiel Leenaars!)
It’s partially EU funded:
I stand corrected!
