/m/SantaFe had been on kbin.social, which is no longer functional. And so I finally got around to putting it on Fedia.io. Enjoy!!

    Oh no I’m saddened to discover that kbin is almost gone 😢

    I wonder what happened to the dev, no activity in long time , and his domain got squatted

    Fedia is based on a fork or is completely different?

      Couldn’t find their original comment but here’s one.

      The developer has also told us he has gone through a divorce, moved into his own place, gotten a full time job and now had surgery.

      Kbin was forked to Mbin which is community run. Kbin seems to have stopped development while Mbin continues. Most kbin sites have moved over to Mbin I think.

      Not sure what’s happened woth kbin.social though. Maybe its moving to Mbin? Still seems yo be running kbin currently judging by the landing page?

        Mbin should be merged back into lemmy. It’s a successful experiment and the microblogging portion is a killer app… But it’ll never get the volume of subscribers to matter

          It was never part of Lemmy. But we are compatible so why should they stop?

          Lemmy doesn’t support Mastodon thou does it?

          I like having access to both via one app

            You can’t view microblogs unless they include a hashtag that corresponds to a Lemmy community. They can comment on any Lemmy post however. If you’re not paying attention to the instance of each user you may not notice.

      I don’t know, it’s just the instance I chose in a moment of need, from ignorance. From what little I know it appeared that MBin was a good place to stick. I started on Kbin, but it stopped working, so I moved on to MBin. Trying to find stability in this new world. LoL.
