The instance has been updated to the latest version of the code. For the next few hours, there might be issues with communication in the fediverse. We are working on it, and everything should return to normal shortly. I’ll keep you updated.

Fantastic news, Ernest! I’m sure a lot of people will be happy now that that visible domain blocking / posts disappearing fix should be in. :) That was the most visible issue I noticed coming from your kbin.social folks, anyway. Instance level moderation is also a great and welcome addition and I hope you are able to get some volunteers to assist with active moderation, since it’s such a large instance.
It’s also good to see commits and changes happening on the kbin code in general. While I’ve moved my instance over to Mbin, I am still rooting for kbin as well - more hands and more ideas in the “community-focused posting” section of the Fediverse can only lead to further improvements as well as more choices for people looking to spin up their own instances, be it Lemmy, kbin, or Mbin.
Is Mbin new? Do you have a URL for your Mbin instance? Does it have a lot of communities/magazines, and can I follow them through kbin?
Mbin is a very recent fork of kbin so there are very few differences at the moment. My instance does not have a lot of communities as it’s a private instance with very few members, so mostly we follow others’. Mine is https://the.coolest.zone
