There's a Fediverse alternative to called . More info at kbin.pub

Still VERY new, not many servers yet, two so far in English:

fedia.io
kbin.social

No app yet, use it through these sites. Subreddits are called "Magazines". You can interact with magazines from other servers.

Coders help Kbin at codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core, non-coders donate at buymeacoffee.com/kbin

(Sorry to people bored of this, had many requests to put info in one place)

kbin.pubHome | kbin.pub - Fediverse of content

p.s. Kbin is part of the Fediverse. You can follow Kbin accounts and magazines from Mastodon etc, and follow Mastodon etc accounts from Kbin.

However, the cross-platform federation doesn't seem to be working properly yet (bear in mind the project is only a few months old!).

There's also a complication about the Kbin.social server being overwhelmed over the last few days. Kbin.social has had to use Cloudflare to cope with the overwhelming load, which is known to mess up federation.

@queenslight

To be fair, there was so much load they assumed it was a DDOS.

They didn't use cloudflare before that.

@feditips @queenslight how/why does cloudflare mess up federation?
Is it the default cache settings messing up API endpoints? (you need to add a custom rule for its base path)
