A note that is pinned to the kbin.social pages at the moment. It reads "I am working on solving the issues right now, but the traffic is enormous. There are no more powerful machines available immediately in the server room that could help with such a configuration. I am in the process of building the infrastructure, but I still need some time. All accounts have been verified and confirmed. I apologize for not being able to respond to everyone individually. Also, the kbin is still in the prototype stage, so please bear with me and be patient."

   I do feel more than a little sympathy for @ernest.

   In January he decided to try to build an ActivityPub based messageboard system.

   A month ago he decided the code was stable enough that he could release the first alpha version, and stood up https://kbin.social to demonstrate it.

   It attracted quite a few users per day and proved that it might just be an exciting new entry into the Fediverse.

   And then Reddit's admins did their thing, and suddenly thousands, millions, tens of millions of users are looking for a new home. And although a few other brave souls have also created kbin instances in the last few days, there's simply not enough capacity to even begin to cope with all the demand.
