I actually started on Kbin.social, but then it got shut down, Kbin died and now fedia.io seems to be the largest one running MBin. I like the interface on MBin and I guess it’s good to have a diverse fediverse with different services, but at the same time, why use mbin when everyone congregates on lemmy instances? The local magazines on fedia are for the most part, quite dead, when compared to lemmy collections. In the end I feel like there aren’t enough people to go around to support many more services like MBin and Piefed.

Unrelated, but does anyone know what happened to kbin.run?

The admin deleted all of his accounts and the kbin.run server without warning a few days ago.

Well that sucks, I was enjoying that instance. Oh well, Fedia will do, mostly the same in the end 🤷‍♂️

Unfortunately the risk of joining something hosted by usually lone individuals. I’m guessing the admin has mental issues, some life event happened and they decided to vanish. Sucks to do things this sudden and without warning though.
