       I do feel more than a little sympathy for @ernest.In January he decided to try to build an ActivityPub based messageboard system.A month ago he decided the code was stable enough that he could release the first alpha version, and stood up https://kbin.social to demonstrate it.It attracted quite a few users per day and proved that it might just be an exciting new entry into the Fediverse.And then Reddit's admins did their thing, and suddenly thousands, millions, tens of millions of users are looking for a new home. And although a few other brave souls have also created kbin instances in the last few days, there's simply not enough capacity to even begin to cope with all the demand.#kbin #Fediverse #RedditMigration #Reddit

       @losttourist Thanks for that, I really appreciate it. Currently, all I can do is wait, hoping that the situation will be resolved soon. New possibilities have emerged. During this time, I will focus on helping others in creating instances at https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues / kbin:matrix.org. It's still a long way to go, but there is a chance for a better internet. Today we are all overwhelmed.

       Oh, I missed that. The kbin story is much longer. It was a project that I developed in my free time. https://github.com/ernestwisniewski?tab=overview&from=2021-12-01&to=2021-12-31 - during this time, I discovered the fediverse, and it completely changed my perspective on what I want to do. Getting to know people here has been a fantastic time.@losttourist

       @losttourist @ernest I feel like we are just shy of the point where a tech journalist breathlessly profiles founder Kay Bin.

       @JMMaok @ernest there's a huge opportunity for someone to get Kay Bin and John Mastodon together to see if they want to get their systems to interact with each other. And that Lemmy character. I bet he has some great ideas too.

       Does this thing really support ActivityPub? It doesn't even seem to respond to webfinger queries correctly (it returns a bunch of HTML and JS and gives a 403 status. Does it want webfinger queries to be HTTP signed?).

       @grunfink @losttourist I'm also getting 403. The main instance is behind cloudflare firewall or something like that.
