Some universities also offer free news servers for their students.
The free servers usually don't offer bin/audio/video groups, at least I don't know any.
If I remember correctly @ernest once described kbin as a "gateway for the fediverse" (but at the moment I don't have a source for that).
This would allow kbin to gather and integrate even more services from the fediverse - maybe
Does anyone else have multiple accounts while looking for new reddit alts? So far I've got accounts on Lemmy, kbin, and Squabbles and I've been lurking on Raddle, Sqwok, and Tildes from the outside....
Basically: admins server - admins rules.
If you don't like the admins behavior you can (in the fediverse) simply register on another instance/server, with an admin you like (or even at mastodon, misskey, calckey,.). Do that on reddit
And you can still follow and comment all subs from all servers (instances) that are federated, no matter where you registered .
Or in the real world: even there many people have the same name - believe me ;-) Then you have to ask for hist last name. And if the last name is "Miller", you have to ask even the place of residence, etc.. But even that is not a problem at all
When you create a new post it is first saved on your instance (where your user is registered). Then your post will be pushed to all other instances (servers) where any user has registered the magazine (sub) you are posting to. The instances will then save the post to their database.
If you want a post to be deleted you have to contact the administrator of the original instance (as you said). once the post is deleted there, a delete message should be pushed to all other instances that received the post. The instances will then also delete the post to their database.
Can usenet be used for free?
Are there ways to use usenet without a payment/subscription?
What is Kbin’s identity?
I’m trying to get my head wrapped around the identity (or purpose) of Kbin....
How do we call kbin users?
Kbinners? Binnies? Kbinators?
What's the longest you've stayed on a distribution?
This is kind of the anti-distro hopping thread. How long have you stayed on a single Linux distribution for your main PC? What about servers?...
Sent a polite message to the r/askreddit mods. Got a warning for bullying and harassment 4 hours later.
kbin.social is.. fast again?
been using it in and out and now it's... much faster? on both mobile and desktop :O am i just crazy or did @ernest bless us with a miracle
Multiple reddit alternatives

While trying to wrap my head around the concept of the Fediverse, I made this map. How did I do?
What would happen if kbin's admin (ernest), or any other admin of a server( by that I mean Mastodon, Lemmy, not an instance of kbin) one day decided he's going to pull a spez?
For kbin in particular, what would happen to an instance's Magazines(subreddits), the communities would just go poof?...
