I signed up for KBin but can't log in. I've seen similar complaints from others. I'm assuming they're either seriously overloaded or something has gone wrong on their end.
Technology
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

kbin.social currently has 20k + users. However it currently has federation disabled due to the traffic is receiving. Edit: It isn't 100k
Federation isn't disabled directly. The admin put the instance behind a cloudflare proxy, which breaks the ActivityPub federation without further tweaking to open up the relevant ports. He's working on loosening up that restriction to get federation working properly again.
Edit: Also kbin.social currently sits at ~126k users.
I find kbin’s interface to be a bit cluttered. But I really like the ease of following microblog accounts. If I could just have a “microblog only” feed in kbin I think it would make me switch my dartboard.social domain from Akkoma to kbin.
We will see how it shakes out after a few updates.
And the nice thing, It doesn't hurt the users of one or the other, all content on both platforms are accessible on both platforms! the more the merrier
I really like Kbin's microblog feature. Basically able to "tweet" in a community without making a whole post
