Hi there! I’m going to be swapping to a Kbin instance from Lemmy since, while I enjoy Lemmy, I really prefer the fact that Kbin has their source code hosted on Codeberg and want to actively support that.

I also want to support keeping Kbin from being a centralized platform, and want to get set up on a smaller instance. I took a look at the Terms of Service and About pages of the site, and was wondering if it’s a general Kbin instance, and what the rules of the instance are.

Thanks in advance!

    I’m sure @buzz will be able to provide you with more satisfying answers but here’s my poor attempt to help in the meantime.

    • I think registration is currently disabled so I’m not sure migrating here will be possible.
    • I not sure we have any instance specific rules - I mostly stick to common sense/the usual ones (don’t be an asshole, don’t post obviously illegal content etc). Buzz hasn’t kicked me out yet so I think that’s good enough.

    As for the instance itself, I do believe it’s a general one.

      Ah, seems I misread FediDB on the status of registrations. Thanks for the help though!

      I closed registrations due to some worries about the state of Kbin as a project. I thought it was better to close the door than to grow lots of users if there’s a concern it’s not going to work out! We do have server rules but the about pages have just been remodelled in Kbin and I’ll have to rewrite them all again.
