Sounds good, but maybe consider moving it to a non-piefed.social piefed instance.
I'm slightly scared of another kbin.social happening.
What happened with kbin?
kbin was a lemmy compatible software.
It has all of the lemmy features, with a really nice ui and microblogging (like twitter).
kbin.social was the main instance, it had a lot of users.
The dev eventually abandoned the project, and kbin.social decayed untill it finally stopped working.
It was forked (code copied by a new group, to keep the project alive) by the mbin project.
https://kbin.earth/ is an mbin instance, for example, that's still up.
Ah I see. I guess lemmys kinda like emails some domains just go to shit and shut down.
List of known piefed instances:
https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list
.Social's in 3 digits user numbers
feddit.online and preferred.social are in 2 digits
Preferred social is a test instance for the API, it's not supposed to be publicly used
If more people choose to join the smaller instances they will grow larger.
I have nothing to add but to say that I liked kbin.social. I was thinking that everyone was being a doomer when they said it was shutting down when there was a few small problems. But they were right
kbin lives on as mbin.
Check kbin.earth, for example.
I am debating getting another account in kbin.earth or piedfed.social. Its always good to try out different instances.
I'd say just try it, it's only a few minutes of your time, and if you don't like it you can delete the accounts.
