SensLemmy has quickly surpassed 100k users.
azuraDon't forget us kbin users too! We're all in the same boat now
Indeed! That's the beautiful thing about this whole decentralised magic. You can use the app (not just mobile app) that best suits you and your interests, and interact with anyone, anywhere.
It's wonderful honestly.
Might be a dumb question, but I don't see how I can interact with Kbin from Lemmy.
If I search for communities, I can see ones from other instances but not any from Kbin.
On kbin.social specifically, federation is currently broken.
The server saw a lot of stress because of the influx of new users and the dev turned on the cloudflare check, so that instance won't kneel down. That broke the federation, other instances cannot go through that check.
JackFromWisconsinOh. That's unfortunate. Why do they need cloud flare again? Are there other instances of Kbin?
Cloudflare can protect against DDOS. In this instance the people are ddosing the server, although not intentionally. There are just a lot of people trying to open the site. So it's not malicious but still an "attack", which cloudflare's service mitigates. In reddit it was called the "reddit hug of death", when small sites kneeled down because a post got popular with their links in it.
And yes, there are, the second largest is fedia.io You can find more here:
https://fedidb.org/software/kbin
GeneratorYeah those numbers aren't correct, just fedia.io have more than that https://fedia.io/stats
And here isn't correcteither https://the-federation.info/platform/184
If you add the users from other instances will more than that.
Also when subreddits return public many users will go back to reddit
