The admin has been away, and so it was basically just an error page for an extended period. Now, it seems to not be federating properly (either due to defederation, or some issue on the server side, but I honestly haven't bothered looking into it) and bots/spam have overrun a lot of the site. The admin is apparently planning to hand over the instance which could help recover it, but it's pretty much unusable right now.
yeah, this. I hope they can recover, but it’ll be an uphill battle convincing instances to refederate with it.
Damn. I returned after about half of year of being MIA from the federation and kbin was the first site I signed up for. I discovered the fork mbin but seems like it hasn't taken off just yet. It's sad to see kbin.social go for now...
