Kbin is a decentralized content aggregator and microblogging platform running on the Fediverse network. It can communicate with many other ActivityPub services, including Mastodon, Lemmy, Pleroma, Peertube. Create and moderate communities, meet people with similar interests, and develop your passions.

I’ve been running a Kbin server on a service called elest.io for around a week.

Had a few teething troubles configuring caching, but that should work out of the box now.

If you can point & click on stuff in a semi-sensible manner then you could run your own instance for yourself, a specific community/sub.

I’ve configured mine as a news aggregator: https://fledd.it

I’m not connected with them in any way other than as a customer.

    I found I had problems initially until I properly sorted out caching. Then I threw a few hundred visitors at it and it’s been fine. $10 would be OK for small communities I think, but you’re right in that big communities will need big servers.
