It’s very likely related, but we also figured out that both of debounced’s (the admin of kbin.run) accounts on GitHub and Matrix were deleted last night. So there is a possibility that kbin.run is no more.

    Yeah, I was a member (the only one?) on patreon and all evidence of my membership has vanished. I’m starting to think that self-hosting might be the only real way forward for stability, but I don’t know how to replicate the /all/ experience without a swarm of users and their subscriptions adding to my own.

      It’s showing indeed the limitations of the activitypub protocol. I’m promoting decentralization, so feel free to run your own instance. Just know that it will take some time, effort and most likely some money.

      I would not recommend single user instances in the threadiverse, they just need too many resources just to start out… There are other options available and if you do not trust the people “only” running their servers for 2 years like me and debojnced previously then go to fedia.io their admin has been actively hosting fediverse services for a lot longer

        What is your definition of “too many resources”? Because running a Lemmy instance surely takes less server power than something like Mastodon, and you can find managed providers for Lemmy for ~$10/month.
