If you start your own instance, you're likely also going to want to be the homebase of your community. The longer you wait, the more users will then have to move to your community. That's not a deal breaker, of course.

If you want to be your own community's host, you'll also want to start your own community on your instance. The longer you wait, the more users will have to move from the current to the new community. We started ours on an existing server (and it still exists) but we realized early that it would not give us enough control over the posted content (specifically filesize limitations) So we quickly started our own instance.

@happybadger Create your own instance while you still can. If you're interested in hosting large images pick mbin instead of Lemmy and I can help you bypass filesize restrictions

Create your own instance now you still can

- Comment on What is going on with Kbin 11 months ago:
I am very sorry but am not seeing any commits in any of the branches? I may be overlooking something. But even if that's the case, up to a month ago it was common to see commits in the development branch on a regular basis. So it may be a change of strategy, but even if so, it's still without announcement or explanation.
- Comment on What is going on with Kbin 11 months ago:
Correct. I am addressing the admins of those 28 servers
- Comment on What is going on with Kbin 11 months ago:
My point is that there has been no commit to Codeberg. So, if development is still ongoing, it is being done somewhere else.
- Comment on What is going on with Kbin 11 months ago:
Please prove me wrong, but I am interpreting this as a confirmation of my feeling that development is currently ongoing in the background.
Open source and maintained in an obscure location do not go well together in one sentence. Perhaps if it had been like this all along from the start, so people knew what they were getting into. Taking OSS development offline whenever it suits one person, without any form of announcement let alone an explanation to the community, would bother me

If your instance admin would choose to switch to Mbin, you'd hardly notice and you'd definitely not have to make a new user account
- Comment on What is going on with Kbin 11 months ago:
That's great, assuming they're all contributing. If that's the case however, I can only assume it's being done behind the scenes, essentially deviating from the open source nature of the project
- Comment on What is going on with Kbin 11 months ago:
My point exactly
- Comment on What is going on with Kbin 11 months ago:
It's the "a bit" part that worries me a bit. Without commits on codeberg there's no certainty any progress is actually being made
- Comment on What is going on with Kbin 11 months ago:
At least we know he's doing alright then, that's a relief
