Hello, you might have noticed (or not) that posts from kbin, more specifically kbin.social aren’t showing anywhere, this is due the DDoS protection they currently have on. So even if you are subscribed to kbin.social communities you won’t see any posts from the outside.
Same is happening inside kbin.social where users there cannot see posts from the outside. This is however temporary and the admin is working on getting federation back online.
~~The site is currently reporting 125k registered users https://kbin.social/stats.~~ Edit: After a quick chat with the dev group it seems this number is just the total users discovered by this instance.
Edit: kbin.social is currently upgrading servers to handle the requests.
The stats page lists users it knows about, including Federated (see also: the People tab).
Local counts can be seen at: https://kbin.social/nodeinfo/2.0 - currently about 22k.
FediDB uses the nodeinfo for its stats gathering, but has a delay.
So that’s more like 23k now. Still impressive.
Very, I think the only larger “Lemmy-like” instance is lemmy.ml.
