Kbin has seen a staggering amount of growth in the past few weeks, and with it a bunch of discussion about issues and bugs.
Constructive criticism will help make kbin even greater, but i wanted to take some time to appreciate how great of an app it has been to use these past few weeks, and to the sole developer @ernest for all the long hours put in to keep things running smoothly.
Keep up the great work!
Wow ;) I’m incredibly lucky to have come across people like you. The authors of those posts are actually right - managing /kbin is a significant challenge nowadays. It requires extensive knowledge and experience to keep it under control. But also I’ve never hidden that fact - the information about it is placed at the very top of the repository’s readme ;) However, as I mentioned, a lot is changing very quickly https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/122333/Fediverse-won-t-replace-Reddit-as-long-as-Lemmy-is-the#entry-comment-478779. And we’re all working hard on it, to improve and automate as many things as possible. Thanks to all of you, I believe I can face it head-on, and together we can create a better place. Better internet. Not just this instance, but cooperation between platforms is the key here.
Unfortunately, there are delays occurring again - I’ve decided that smooth website operation will be the priority this time. There are approximately 450k tasks waiting in the queue, and everything will be handled, but it will take some time. Today, we’re also conducting final tests of the new infrastructure. It’s taking a while because we’re documenting templates that can later be used by others to create their own instances. I hope these are the last issues we have to endure ;)
Thanks for everything.
The status update about queue-size etc is really valuable. I wonder if it might be possible to have a little status space in the sidebar
Thank you for the hard work and much love!
I’m a firm believer there can never be too many thanks you’s given so: Thank you ernest and everyone working on this.
I myself don’t have much php experience other than one small site that i run, but i hope in the future i can too contribute to this project. But that said i do have somewhat more linux experience and if you or anyone here needs help with anything feel free to shoot me a message.
