Still no API to enable official apps and no moderation tools. It really feels like it's lagging behind Lemmy at this point. Lemmy's growth has significantly outpaced kbin and it feels like it's going to just die a slow death now.
I had some minor turbulence in my private life from which I'm slowly emerging. I have partially stabilized my life situation in various aspects. I hope this will help me smoothly return to old habits, maintain consistency, and keep you updated on what specifically is happening in the project.
That's part of why there's a new fork called Mbin with more active contributors than official Kbin. And Lemmy did get a headstart on Kbin, it was first by a while. Ernest is definitely still working on Kbin, though.
