Comment on What's going on with kbin.social?
stevecrox@kbin.run 4 months agoMBin is a fork by a group who tried to push into KBin but couldn't. There seems to be at least 4 active committers and stuff gets merged.
You will see a number of the KBin instances moved over https://fedidb.org/software/mbin

I created an acount on kbin.run (which is mbin) earlier today. I tried on the most populous mbin instance, but the request page throws 429s and the contact page 500s. This morning, I was ready just to go back to reddit for a bit (I didn't care for Lemmy, but I guess I would give it another shot before that).

hi, kbin.run admin here, i wanted to confirm that the 429 and 500s you're seeing are not on kbin.run but fedia.io? thanks!
tiredofsametab@kbin.run 4 months ago
Correct. Thank you!

Just tried to create an account on fedia.io, which is the biggest of the mbin instances (at just about a bit above 4K users, so not THAT much), and it just could NOT take the registration, all i get is "429 Too Many Requests", after multiple tries. I suspect that says the instance is woefully underpowered for the traffic it's handling
tiredofsametab@kbin.run 4 months ago
Yeah, something's misconfigured, underpowered, or something.

Hi there, mbin dev here. We have a configuration with rate limits. "429 Too Many Requests" is the server saying "you requested to much, I will not send you any responses anymore". Feedback is noted and we'll try to get that sorted out asap

tiredofsametab@kbin.run 4 months ago
Much appreciated. This seems to be working for now, but I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

Sad to hear. 429s seems to be a known issue: github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues/470
Any reason why you don’t want to try Lemmy? Alternatively, the is narwhal.city that runs Lotide (sr.ht/~vpzom/lotide/)

microblog. if you do any serious following lemmy is.. not the right toool.

I actually started on Lemmy and it auto-refreshed and did some other things I found so annoying I was gone in about half a day.

Auto-refresh has been disabled since a few months.
