OC The demographics of Kbin | Survey (take.supersurvey.com)
I'm curious about the demographic makeup of Kbin. As we are still in it's infancy I feel that most lean towards a certain way, so I made this survey just now to find out.

Abandoned large magazines are being bombarded with spam and admins are nowhere to be seen it seems.

So whats happening here?...

Progressive Web App
I was just prompted that a PWA was available for kbin. I now have it installed, really great to see this. IMO it is a great stopgap until native apps are available.
[Opinion] The top bar should be enabled by default.

I keep getting HTTP 503 errors when trying to go to kbin.social. Is this common for anyone else?
Anyone else keep getting 503 errors? Ill refresh like 3 times and itll pop back up, but then I click on a thread and it goes down again.
Does kbin allow 3rd party apps / development?
I found the API documentation but it seems to be lacking. If someone wanted to create a bot to moderate their magazine, how do they authorize the bot? For example, Reddit had Oauth documentation....

Kbin doesn't respect my subscription feed anymore or I don't understand it.
A few days ago when I was using /sub I only saw the magazines that I subscribed to. This seems like the intended behavior. But now I see threads from all kinds of magazines plus the ones subscribed under /sub. How can I hide the magazines I am not subscribed to from the subscribed threads view?...
