Or a whole server just vsnishes like kbin.social. Account, crested magazines, participation in the fediverse…poofed out of existence in an “instance”.

I used to be a kbin user, then I stopped cause it didn’t feel nice on mobile. I come back a few weeks ago to find it that it no longer works. Shit sucks

kbin.melroy.org is a good replacement

[-] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 4 points 3 months ago

Had an account there, and liked it. I understand why the creator/maintainer stopped, but I would've liked a bit of a warning instead of just.. poof. I don't even know if I could backup and reuse my account and activity, but it sucks nonetheless.

Hi fellow kbin.earther. Yeah I hear you, there where a couple of long outages which worried me, but to be gone like that wasn't what I expected. Anyhow, I like it on .earth.

[-] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 3 months ago

Ah no, I'm on melroy, but I quite like both.

[-] kindenough@kbin.earth 2 points 3 months ago

Ah, I see now... as I am on kbin.earth, /u/ starts with kbin.earth by default. I feel, just a little, stupid.

Have a good one, SharkAttak.

Same happened with kbin.run. Glad I set up an account on another instance before that happened.

[-] AndrewZabar@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago

I think, in an instant.

I believe it was intended as a pun
