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?

Ernest, the lead dev for Kbin, has had a lot of big events happen in his life recently, so he has a tendency to just kinda disappear for weeks/months at a time while the project gets put on hold. He’ll usually come back, announce new plans for development, maybe push out a few updates, and then inevitably go radio silent again.
I believe he’s got a few people assisting him now, but development has definitely slowed to the point of becoming concerning. I think it might be time for the Mbin team to start getting a little more free with the fork.

the impression i had of mbin was very “anything goes” did that not end up being how things shaped up??
Maybe helpful to some people who land on this thread: current list of mbin instances
Mbin also got a join site
Oh nice!
does mbin federate with lemmy nicely?
Pretty much, as others have explained here. I wanted to add that in addition to its fork Mbin there is also the Sublinks project to make a new implementation of the ActivityPub protocol and thus surf the Fediverse independent of Lemmy. https://sublinks.org/ (link to GitHub there too)
