Hello, you might have noticed (or not) that posts from kbin, more specifically kbin.social aren’t showing anywhere, this is due the DDoS protection they currently have on. So even if you are subscribed to kbin.social communities you won’t see any posts from the outside.

Same is happening inside kbin.social where users there cannot see posts from the outside. This is however temporary and the admin is working on getting federation back online.

The site is currently reporting 125k registered users

Edit: After a quick chat with the dev group it seems this number is just the total users discovered by this instance. The real amount of users is 22k as seen on https://kbin.social/nodeinfo/2.0

Edit: kbin.social is currently upgrading servers to handle the requests.

    I too am curious how this number is generated. For an instance of 125k users, the interactions seem quite low. “Top” items are at the top of the list with 500-1000 upvotes… and only ~100 comments.

    I would kind of expect a bit more.

      1 9 90 rule applies quite well, only a limited number of users ever interact with anything at all, and no one interacts with everything.

        Okay… Let’s take that 1 9 90 rule… 1% creators 9% interactors and 90% lurkers. So at 800 upvotes which is the upper end of the “Top” threads… we’re expecting 8000 users. Not 125k.

        It still doesn’t line up.

          Yup, I made a mistake, the real amount is 23k, you can see the edit in the post.
