Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Does anyone know what happened to kbin.social its been down for weeks and im missing my UFC threads.

After a lot of research I can say no one knows, Ernest who runs and develops it hasn't been heard from, and it may well be dead. Ernest had health issues he talked about last year, and there has been no activity on the Kbin code since last year. No one else has access to do anything with the site. Many people are giving up.

Were the UFC threads specifically on kbin.social? Or just something you accessed through Kbin? A team forked (copied) the code and have been developing Mbin as an alternative to Kbin. You can see servers here, including many that used to run Kbin. That won't help if the UFC stuff was in kbin.social magazines, though. I didn't work out where the UFC content came from.

It was a community on kbin social but i think someone made a Lemmy community for mma to replace it.

Hmm I can see [email protected] but it's not very active. Maybe you can change that!

Yeah UFC cards have been very shit lately so maybe it can be revived once a good card is put on.
