Only heard of it recently is it another federated platform like Lemmy or pixelfed?

    One problem with kbin is that the whole federation of instances thing didn’t work so well there. It seems all the users and all the content is one one server: kbin.social.

    This is concerning since it introduces a single point of failure.

      Yeah, I think at the moment they’re just desperately trying to keep up with the influx of new users but a great way to do that would be to help migrate some of them to different instances.

      (then again at least half of the content on Kbin is from Lemmy - including this post, which I just found via the front page of Kbin - so they’re achieving federation that way at least)
