kbin.social is gone.

I need to check the stubsack more often.

You should consider donating to the internet archive.

I swear I missed this somehow.

You can self host lemmy for about 15 a month, between server hosting and a domain name

As well as exit!

https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/ef61/fep-ef61.md

It does, as an FEP.

I’d say just try it, it’s only a few minutes of your time, and if you don’t like it you can delete the accounts.

I probably was.

kbin lives on as mbin.

Check kbin.earth, for example.

Why did beehaw lock itself down?

I sorted by top of all time on my profile, uploaded the images to another site, and hotlinked them in the post.

For any people in the future.

Not most, they do keep tiny thumbnails though.

Servers can:

• Proxy images
• Save them locally
• just link to them.

Most do the latter as its cheaper.

kbin was a lemmy compatible software.
It has all of the lemmy features, with a really nice ui and microblogging (like twitter).
kbin.social was the main instance, it had a lot of users.

The dev eventually abandoned the project, and kbin.social decayed untill it finally stopped working.

It was forked (code copied by a new group, to keep the project alive) by the mbin project.

https://kbin.earth/ is an mbin instance, for example, that’s still up.

Sounds good, but maybe consider moving it to a non-piefed.social piefed instance.

I’m slightly scared of another kbin.social happening.

I think you should keep your money for now.

I think lemmy.dbzer0.com is a good match.

Why did you have to point this out

I’m trying to, but the docs require you to use systemd, and I’m running it in wsl. I can set the instance, but I can’t get it to use https for some reason, and piefed returns a 302 on any http request.

Actually, screwing around with it a bit, I think I got it kinda working by changing one string: “v3” to “alpha”.

Edit: changed image link. RIP lemm.ee
