Is the kbin project completely dead?
the repo has nothing going on
the kbin.social website partly loads with error
did it just evaporate? or what?

youre not wrong, they spent a lot of time refactoring things, and still are.
that said, the list of changes in the last several versions is very long, and the code base is no longer trivially similar. looking through the waiting prs, there are a lot of interesting bits like extending microblog AP connectivity (tag handling).
the mbin guys have been pumping out releases steadily since the fork, including implementing managed documentation and version numbering. it has well exceeded kbin at this stage.
theyre prepping for a 1.7 release soon. when was the last kbin update? to me, theres only one stale project here.
Thanks for the insight! I’m not super familiar with how the development cycle goes, so my thoughts are coming from the standpoint of a user experiencing both platforms. I’m sure that a lot of the back-end stuff has probably had a lot of improvements, but the end-user experience between Kbin and Mbin are still largely identical, I feel.
I was gonna load up Kbin to try to do a live comparison but, uh… Yeah, who knows when that’ll be possible again lol
