Kbin.social upgrade (kbin.melroy.org)

Currently, the kbin.social instance has planned maintenance. They are busy upgrading the infrastructure to Kubernetes, using Docker containers. They said it shouldn't take much longer than 1 hour downtime in total (if everything goes fine).

The migration will help to dynamically scale the instance, to remove the growing pains. And hopefully increase the availability (uptime) as well.

Soon additional setup configurations, best server practices and ansible playbooks will be shared with the community.

In the meanwhile you can of course use other instances (I bet you are reading this message right now from another instance).

Kbin is a different code base from lemmy, right?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Yes it is. Kbin is also a reddit-alike alternative. Just like Lemmy. Also open-source. See code base: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core

Is there a TLDR of what the difference between the two is?

[–] tydel 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

mastodon = twitter lemmy = reddit kbin = both

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, it's also written by different developers, which some people might find important. Also Kbin is written in PHP + JS while Lemmy is written in Rust + TS mainly.

Rust > php any day

Both kbin and Lemmy are reddit-like content/link aggregators. Kbin combines content aggregation with twitter-like microblogging.
