What happened to Kbin btw? I used to be on there since the start but the page has been broken since a while for me

It was run by one guy who had health issues. So it shut down. Mbin is the main fork now.

The owner of kbin.social (and creator of kbin incidentally) has been MIA for a few months now, so it's presumed that it's over. I haven't heard of anything concrete regarding the fate of kbin.social or ernest though - unless someone has heard differently, it remains possible that ernest returns in a year or two and brings kbin.social back up.

Edit: I thought that https://kbin.earth/ still existed as an instance still running ernest's original flavour of kbin (as opposed to its sucessor mbin) but it turns out it has been moved to mbin as per the reply below.

With that, I'm not sure if anyone is still on the original kbin codebase at this point.
