Hi there! I’m going to be swapping to a Kbin instance from Lemmy since, while I enjoy Lemmy, I really prefer the fact that Kbin has their source code hosted on Codeberg and want to actively support that.

I also want to support keeping Kbin from being a centralized platform, and want to get set up on a smaller instance. I took a look at the Terms of Service and About pages of the site, and was wondering if it’s a general Kbin instance, and what the rules of the instance are.

Thanks in advance!

    I closed registrations due to some worries about the state of Kbin as a project. I thought it was better to close the door than to grow lots of users if there’s a concern it’s not going to work out! We do have server rules but the about pages have just been remodelled in Kbin and I’ll have to rewrite them all again.

      Ah, so I’m not crazy after all. I thought I remembered reading the rules before signing up but checking the about page before replying to this thread made me question my memory.

      The uncertainty about the instance and closing registration is understandable - I know I might sound like a broken record but have you checked mbin? Maybe that would help with current issues? I promise I won’t ask about it again as I don’t want to nag you about it, I just appreciate the instance and hope it succeeds (or at least survives).
