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).

These are only the cosmetic changes you see. Kbin.social was running a quite old version indeed. I try to keep my instance up-to-date every day, running the latest changes from the develop branch.

That being said, there are a lot of other changes you are not aware of. These can be database changes, performance improvements, backend features. Or any other code change, bug fix or improvement, which isn't always obvious to the end-user.
