As you noticed, I had to temporarily enable DDoS protection. Someone is trying quite effectively to distract me from my activities ;p Unfortunately, this may cause some issues with the federation. I will try to cut off the traffic as soon as possible and return to normal operation. Thank you for all your support and patience! :)

          Yup. I’m loving it so far in terms of functionality.

          General community experience is to be seen but I’m hopeful.

            Like any similar site it will succeed or fail on the back of the community it manages to attract and keep, but I have to say that for me KBin feels far more like a natural workflow than Lemmy. I think I’ll stay!

            The nice thing about Reddit was that you knew the vibe of each of the subs. Since everything is so new here, and the influx so immense, it’s going to take time for the various communities to settle. Unfortunately for the old timers here, the pre-existing magazines here are unlikely to maintain their prior vibe. Hopefully they don’t hate the Reddit exodus too much.

              I have a feeling most of the exodus is going to be reddit old-timers that might fit in a little better than the rest of reddit, but y’know, remains to be seen.

                Oh I hope so. I miss when top comments were actual top tier comments that added to the discussion. Now it’s all about posting jokes.

      @ajar7 Yep, I saw it that way, and it seemed to be going quite well. That changed a few minutes after I posted the screenshots and server specifications :) Perhaps it’s just a coincidence, but it was a huge change in such a short period of time. I still want to verify this and have external confirmation, but DDoS protection is currently the only option to keep the website alive.

      Wait reddit banned a sub showing how to make an account here? They are trying to speedrun their demise at this point.

        Want to hear some irony? I’m here because I saw a thread on Reddit about that subreddit being banned.

          I saw that and immediately went “alright, sounds like Kbin is the place to be!” If reddit is banning it, then Kbin must be seen as a threat.

          Same. Made my account this morning and since then this site is visibly more active already.

          Me too! Today I tried both this and Lemmy, but I find Kbin more to my taste in terms of interface, and I can still access all of the Lemmy threads, which resolves the only issue (IMHO) of kbin: lemmy seems to have more content and “threads/magazines/subreddits”.
          I hope to make Kbin my new home after the Reddit exodus!

            Same! I’ve been trying to comment this on Reddit where possible so that others won’t try just lemmy and give up. Hoping to stay here permanently
