Hello all! 👋
A few things to cover here.
First of all, I would like to thank all who donated for their generosity. I don’t know if I’ve said it before, but 100% of the donations are going directly to the hosting costs.
I believe I fixed the issues with federation (it was just a problem in my nginx configuration), so interoperability with mastodon should be working again. Sorry about that! I haven’t tested other software, such as friendica and kbin, but I’m hoping they should be working again too.
We’ve surpassed 2,000 users! 🎉 I love seeing the all engagement! Also, thank you for the reports as well, I would like to keep this instance safe & welcoming to all, and can’t do it without your help.
I’ve also noticed there’s a few servers that my e-mail server is not happy trying to send e-mails to. by default it’s set up to be fairly picky about the servers it connects to, and I’ve noticed that it’s refusing to deliver to some with self-signed or certs that don’t match the domain. I’ll be working on getting that resolved in the next few days too.
Last but not least, I’ve added @crb@lemmy.ca to help me out with some admin duties. Please give him a warm welcome! I plan on adding a third soon too.
As always, let me know if you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or whatever.
Does that mean we can subscribe to kbin now too?
I’m able to subscribe to RedditMigration@kbin.social and the meta one, but nothing else. !tech@kbin.social for instance is still not turning up in search for me
Interesting. Maybe servers are overloaded? I am subscribed up to !audiofiction@kbin.social
It’s hit and miss for me. I went through the top 20 or so kbin magazines and about 10 of them worked
