/kbin - a few quick announcements

Good morning! :) Today I want to focus mainly on reviewing the pull requests you've submitted. There are many great things there that will help improve the kbin experience. That's amazing, thank you! I'm also in the final stages of sorting out the infrastructure-related formalities. Soon, the situation with the website's functionality should stabilize, and the traffic from the fediverse will gradually be restored. I've decided to delegate some tasks as I can no longer oversee everything at this stage. There are many offers of help for which I'm very grateful, and I haven't had a chance to respond to some of them yet because I only just saw them - a lot is happening, really.

As I mentioned before, new possibilities have emerged that I couldn't have imagined before. All of this is thanks to your support; you are incredible, and I thank you. That's why it's crucial for me to ensure transparency in everything we do and provide regular reports. I want to share as much information behind the scenes as possible. That's why it may seem like it's taking a long time, but I truly want to make the most of every cent.

Now, onto the bad news. I messed up.

The workload overwhelmed me, and I couldn't read all your messages. I will diligently work my way through them, but I need time.

The registration system is far from perfect, so from time to time, I manually verify and activate accounts whose activation links didn't arrive. Please check again later if you find yourself in such a situation.

The queue for account deletions is stuck. Manual fix is needed, which will be difficult until the infrastructure is moved. I have recorded all 230 account deleiton requests, and each one will definitely be deleted, but I also need time for that. I apologize for this. If someone wants their account to be immediately deleted, please send an email through the contact form starting with "DELETE MY ACCOUNT" - it will be easier for me to filter it out, and I will delete the account manually.

That's all from me. I'm going back to stirring the cauldron. Thank you for all the messages and kind words. Thank you for being here. Have a nice day!

Thank you for your great work! Remember to take care of yourself, health is more important than everything.

Yeeshak,

Thank you @ernest for the work!

Quick question, is there a (planned for the future) way to have kbin fully in a specific language? Mine shows a mix between Portuguese (country I live in) and English (Language my Windows is)

Edit: found out there is a selection of language in the bottom of the page, mine is set to English but I still see some parts of the UI in Portuguese. I'll attach a screenshot for reference.

Keep up the good work!

Languages still require some work or need to be updated in repo. Perhaps today it will be possible to do that. In the meantime, you can switch to English by selecting it in the footer on the bottom right side.

For this particular problem it would be super helpful if you could submit an issue

Hakasu,

Great work! Sounds like you have your hands full, and then some.

Thank you so much for your transparency and efforts! The only thing I can envision you're going through is that scene from Silicon Valley in which they try to bump server capacity and scale. I can imagine that it is not an easy task, it is amazing what you have achieved so far and I am confident that the platform will grow over the months to come.

Just a lot of respect for the clear communication and keeping the site up and running AND listening to the community. I guess that the latter makes kBin the successor of Reddit 👍

distantsounds,
