kbin may be done. Backup plan is mbin at fedia.io
With the talk of Erenst (The solo guy running kbin) missing in action, there's talk of communities migrating over to other instances that are maintained by more than 1 person.
mbin is a fork of kbin that is actively being worked on by more than 1 person.
Largest instance currently is https://fedia.io/
I've created a backup magazine for functional print there in case this all goes belly up.
Feel free to create accounts where you see fit, and sub to that magazine as a backup.

UPDATE:
Ernest update -> https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/875274/RE-Is-Ernest-still-here
We'll stick here and wait it out, and see if it becomes more stable.
Still no talk from Ernest about expanding out a team for something as big as kbin.
But hopefully it works out.
Yay! Fingers crossed
