Is this being worked on/looked at? I ask since the post mentioned discussion was happening with the .id admins but I haven’t seen any answers about whether that’s a priority (it seems Lemdro.id is the one that needs to federate with k.bin).

Just kinda bummed since I use kbin the vast majority of this time.

Edit: ah cool, quick turnarounds are sexy. Thanks @cole@lemdro.id!

    I agree. I can understand this is a tech-focused instance but that doesn’t means Lemmy World was not right for us. If someone creates an Android-focused instance then we would move again because that would be even more suitable than this one?

    However I expect the community to keep growing and next time it would be nice if mods ask the members before taking decisions that affect the whole community.

      lemdro.id was actually created with the original intent of hosting Android, but has kind of grown a little to more general technical content in the same realm. I definitely hear your point though. Personally, my hope is this helps take load off of lemmy.world. This is my contribution to make the fediverse more viable long-term as it continues to grow

          To add on to what @ijeff said, eventually the plan is to open up community contributions. However, they are not needed since so far hosting costs are looking to be around $40/mo (for a setup which is highly available!) which is low enough I’m happy to fund it for eternity.

          I’ve seen other instances have luck with asking for low amounts of contributions through ko.fi or GitHub sponsors and we will eventually do something similar. I’m waiting until I have the infrastructure in a stable place (i.e. not changing too much) and I have open-sourced all of the setup work.
