I’ve created a new kbin instance at https://remy.city. Feel free to make it your fediverse home–I believe it could support quite a few users.
Its always good to see more instances coming up! Maybe contact Ernest to see if you can get it listed on kbin.pub?
Good idea, I just looked however and they’ve changed the instances page to: https://fedidb.org/software/kbin. So any server that has federated with any other listed is on there, I believe. More Kbin instances out there than I thought!
WTF dude. that instance is NSFW!!
Sorry, I should have included that info. You got me thinking, however, and I made the decision to defederate from lemmynsfw.com. I’m not against the communities it hosts, but I don’t want to deal with any of the content hosting legal questions that come with it (or at least minimize it where I can). There do appear to be some posts that make it in to the ‘random’ microblog section that are NSFW, I will look into what I can do for those.
Moving accounts between instances isn’t a thing yet right?
Its not right now, but that feature is in the roadmap afaik.
Narp, you’re stuck forever
It’s not, unfortunately. The main issue I see with implementing that is all of your existing posts/comments would still link to your old account on other instances. So either your old instance would have to forward requests for your account to the new instance, or maybe ActivityPub has some way to push that update out and update your account’s home across the fediverse. I don’t know enough about it unfortunately.
You are welcome to create multiple accounts in any case. Suppose that defeats the purpose of the fediverse though.
One trivial way would be to just transfer your subscriptions, onto a new account.
Very true, if you don’t mind losing your post history. A simple way to migrate subscriptions would be great for those folks that make a new account every once in awhile anyway.
I’m probably thinking too far ahead, but just spitballing…
Once reputation is fixed, your posts should be able to be exported/imported if it meets a certain level, and filesize requirement.
This would keep the permanent trolls in check.
Of course, reputation could be gamed and I don’t have a solution for that yet. Perhaps weighted against the reputation/age of those who boosted you?
Do you have an email requirement and captcha when creating an account? Or whateveryou think you need to prevent bots? (I think you should.)
I’m in the process of getting those working–I’ve had some issues with the captcha plugin so far.
