Apparently Reddit has now banned a subreddit dedicated to the Fediverse Reddit-alternative Kbin:

sakurajima.moe/@chikorita157/1

If you're on a centralised platform like Reddit, this is what they can do. Centralised platforms have all-powerful leaders who can do whatever they want, and you have no alternatives if you disagree.

The point of the Fediverse being on lots of servers is that each server's power is limited. If you disagree with one server's actions, you can move.

@feditips What instances are there out there?

Kbin dot social is super full rn, and using the main instance isn’t usually good anyway

(Also, any kbin apps for iOS?)

@luana I am not aware of too many, but the few I’ve seen are listed on kbin.pub/en I’m sure there are others, but not sure how to find them.

And for iOS, afaik there’s no iOS op yet. But you can “install” it as a PWA through Safari. It works well enough for the time being.

@luana @feditips Karab.in is the only other english one I know of. There are a handful of polish instances (AFAIK the kbin dev is polish).

But if you have the knowledge and resources you should totally host your own kbin instance!

@Bees @feditips karab.in seems to be polish too?

Also nah, I don’t even self-host my mastodon account lmaoo

The admin of Kbin posted today that they're giving priority to documenting how to set up Kbin servers, to speed up the process of more servers being set up.

I'm already pinging @donelias to see if he can also host a #Kbin instance for Costa Rica

@csolisr @donelias @feditips @luana definitely trying to setup my own kbin instance for central US. Hopefully we can all contribute and make the deployment process as easy as possible, they’re already using docker so it _shouldnt_ be too hard….

@csolisr [social.azkware.net]

You asked and we delivered :-)

A #Kbin instance for Costa Rica and beyond.

It's just installed and it has some rough edges as the installation instructions are are work in progress.
