What's going on with kbin.social?
It's been inaccessible for roughly 24hrs right now and I'm having a hard time finding any group talking about it. Was there a change recently, or some kind of an explanation posted?

MBin is a fork by a group who tried to push into KBin but couldn't. There seems to be at least 4 active committers and stuff gets merged.
You will see a number of the KBin instances moved over https://fedidb.org/software/mbin
I created an acount on kbin.run (which is mbin) earlier today. I tried on the most populous mbin instance, but the request page throws 429s and the contact page 500s. This morning, I was ready just to go back to reddit for a bit (I didn't care for Lemmy, but I guess I would give it another shot before that).
hi, kbin.run admin here, i wanted to confirm that the 429 and 500s you're seeing are not on kbin.run but fedia.io? thanks!
Correct. Thank you!
im looking for testers if you want to give mine mbin a shot https://moist.catsweat.com
im an oldschool sysadmin, so it pains me to see ernest so ... uncommunicative.
Much appreciated. This seems to be working for now, but I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
Just tried to create an account on fedia.io, which is the biggest of the mbin instances (at just about a bit above 4K users, so not THAT much), and it just could NOT take the registration, all i get is "429 Too Many Requests", after multiple tries. I suspect that says the instance is woefully underpowered for the traffic it's handling
Yeah, something's misconfigured, underpowered, or something.
Hi there, mbin dev here. We have a configuration problem with rate limits. "429 Too Many Requests" is the server saying "you requested to much, I will not send you any responses anymore". Feedback is noted and we'll try to get that sorted out asap
@jherazob@kbin.social @tiredofsametab@kbin.run
Yeah, my very first request was a 429 so the back-off seemed really weird, heh. Thanks!
Sad to hear. 429s seems to be a known issue: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues/470
Any reason why you don't want to try Lemmy? Alternatively, the is https://narwhal.city that runs Lotide (https://sr.ht/~vpzom/lotide/)
microblog. if you do any serious following lemmy is.. not the right toool.
I actually started on Lemmy and it auto-refreshed and did some other things I found so annoying I was gone in about half a day.
Auto-refresh has been disabled since a few months.
