Kbin has many of the same issues lemmy does, specifically there’s no way to clear old image cache making it essentially a growing storage nightmare. There’s also been no updates to the software in over 4 months and the last time burger tried updating it, everything broke, forcing us to go to a backup.
It feels like it would be going down a similar rabbit hole where the expense the instance would require to keep running would just grow and grow, and I wouldn’t be able to shoulder such a growing expense.
However, we’d be willing to look into setting up mbin as the project matures, since it’s getting updates rather frequently.
