[UPDATE] Issues with the functioning of kbin.social (kbin.social)

The main issues with the improper functioning of the instance have been resolved, but it led to additional complications. Currently, using the instance should be quite comfortable, but I will continue to work intensively on a comprehensive solution for the next few days. Therefore, occasional interruptions or errors may still occur.

Thanks for your patience!

Thanks a lot Ernest, you are the best.

Yup, since last night using Kbin (on both the web app and Tundra) has been a lot smoother. I've only encountered a couple of error screens.

If you wouldn't mind, what did happen to Kbin? Was it a Lemmy update...kbin specific problem?

Anyway I just want to say thank and to make sure you take breaks whenever you can.

Yup! Would love to know what the issue was that caused the outage. Thanks!

Thank you very much!

It does seem to be pretty stable and fast today.

Also, where can I donate to support your efforts of keeping this whole thing going?

A friend of mine tells me the instance mas.to (last night, 1/2/24) produced this error message for him:

Due to the technical issues they are having we are temporarily stopping delivery to kbin.social, as the failures and retries are impacting our site performance. We'll monitor the situation and unblock once they're back up and running again.

Figured you'd want to know, and thank you for the service you provide.

Edit: Appears to be unblocked now, but who knows if there are other instances that disconnected.

I'm the admin of mas.to. We didn't block in the moderation sense (suspend/limit), we just stopped delivery of content to kbin.social to prevent even more failures and retries piling up. It wasn't good for performance and probably not helping kbin.social either! I'll start delivery again on mas.to and my other instance!

Would love a technical breakdown on what happened!

Thank you

Dude, you’re a trooper. Nobody said you had to do anything for anybody, but here you are making magic happen so people can continue to lurk and laugh at stupid memes.

Thank you. Seriously, thank you. Words won’t ever be enough to reflect our appreciation for your time.

Thank you so much ernest. I was able to go to my subscriptions, and all, and notifications today and look at them by all and all the normal stuff. For a second there I thought there was something going on!!!

@ernest doing overtime like a madman to let us all procrastinate. It's truly poetic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Thanks! I was going into meme withdrawal.

As an aside, I downloaded one of the Lemmy apps to get my fix while things were having issues here. And while it wasn't bad, I'm definitely glad to be back. Huge appreciation for the function and form of Kbin and the tremendous amount of effort put in to keep it awesome.

@ernest thanks, it's wonderful.

Thanks for the awesome website, Ernest!

I'm not seeing any new posts from any instance or even kbin. Had to click on your user profile to see that something new was posted in m/kbinMeta

Thanks Ernest!
