Thanks for sharing this and for all the work you have done so far on Kbin!

I was wondering if you have considered closing sign-ups to the main Kbin instance, I think one of the main benefits of the fediverse is the possibility of decentralization, but Kbin doesn't seem to be leaning that way with a majority sign-ups going to the kbin.social instance, closing sign-ups I think would make for a healthier Kbin network, as well as not worsening the performance issues the instance has been experiencing.

The number of users increased immensely the next day because Hexbear.net migrated to upstream Lemmy and their users/stats started being tracked. This newest wave of users does seem to me like bots, specially because they are signing up to instances where little to no activity is happening, but who knows.
