Like the title says, if you want to upvote something on KBin, you should use the Boost link, not the upvote button (Why? Don’t know…)
The upvote button doesn’t seem to do much, but Boost accomplishes what Reddit’s upvote did. So if you’re looking to encourage a post, use the Boost link.
Thanks for joining! Excited to see the site grow.
Thank you! I’m excited to see the site grow as well. We seem to be building a nice place to hangout and have good discussions unlike the site that shall not be named.
(Also love your username)
Yes, there is a very strong team there now, and I will gradually delegate responsibility in certain areas. I need to focus on my own milestones. However, I want to do it slowly because there are many pitfalls here that are a consequence of kbin being a side project. But the organization on Matrix was amazing, and I didn’t even lift a finger for it.

Not bad for a ‘side project’, not bad at all!
I’m very much enjoying your side project, and we all appreciate all the effort you’ve put in as we’ve stressed it to (and no doubt beyond!) It’s design limits.
I also appreciate the way you pop up and contribute to random threads!
Your level of engagement with the community is absolutely spectacular. I’m glad to have found myself a cozy little Internet space and wish you the best of luck with this one hell of a side project!
@ernest I can’t imagine how stressful it is for you. I’ve run a few larger projects (ShowEQ back in the day, being one of the bigger ones), but nothing that blew up so quickly like Kbin has and I don’t envy your position. I really appreciate the work you’ve put into KBin and I want to see it succeed!
Is any of this code open sourced, or on GitHub, gitlab, etc? Is the matrix channel private or open to any coders?
