@RookieNerd been using it since Reddit had its drama. Kbin is really great, I definitely recommend checking it out. It’s still in fairly early development, so there are plenty of features that you’ll end up wanting, but its current state is quite capable.

@2du I have been using Lemmy after the Reddit drama as well, but kbin looks on another whole level. It's very interesting how microblogging and threads get mixed. Remembers me a lot like Facebook (?) groups in a sense... (Last time I used Facebook was 2014 tbh :blobfoxcrylaugh:

@RookieNerd@hachyderm.io check out artemis aswell, 3rd party app for kbin. Atm only usable with the artemis server but that will change!

@noki Looks great! But also the standard kbin UI looks perfect, I totally like the concept behind it

@RookieNerd@hachyderm.io It is!
It's a very young service, but very promising.

@brome I am currently trying to deploy an instance with Docker on our hacklab's infrastructure

@RookieNerd@hachyderm.io Nice! One of the problems that kbin faced, when people started migrating massively from Reddit a few months ago, was that the flag instance, kbin.social, couldn't bear the load of the newcomers. So it's cool to see other instances joining the #threadiverse!

And in my opinion, having a kbin instance makes total sense for a hacklab.

@brome Yeah, we are experimenting with different software in order to have something a little bit more "2023" than a Wiki. I mean, Wikis are super cool, but it would be fun to also have that social media part added to it

@brome Anyways, the instance is up, but I always get a 500 with image uploads in posts and threads, and also it seems like that the instance is totally segregated from the rest of the Fediverse 🤔

@brome Regarding the "failed federation", I'm supposing that there might be something off with how Apache2 is configured, since a similar behavior presented when I was testing Lemmy. Since I believe ActivityPub and federation is almost universal for every software in the Fediverse, isn't there a comprehensive and interoperable guide on how to set up reverse proxies?

@brome I've set up a Synapse server in the past and I had to specify about the .well-known path in nginx for the Webfinger protocol, so I guess there might be something similar involved. I am looking for Fediverse scientists here lol :blobfoxwave: :blobfoxsciencewoozy:

@RookieNerd@hachyderm.io Sorry, can't help you with that. Boosting in the hope someby else can!
