Cool! Do you have a writeup or something that you could share? Maybe any mods you did to the docker-compose files to get it to work? Would help a lot of us out.
Yeah, that's one of the things kinda holding me back for now as well.
Edit: I fnally gave it a shot. It turned out to be pretty easy. I just followed the admin guide on kbin's codeberg at https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/wiki#admin-guide and scrolled down to the "Install with Docker" section.
Did this on an M1 Mac that already had Docker Desktop set up, so basically I skipped the first four subsections as not relevant and went straight down to the "Clone repo" subsection. (After cloning the repo, there is a section on getting docker-ce set up for Linux/GNU that I skipped).
I simply did "docker compose build" and didn't explicitly need to build fresh images. Then I ran "docker compose up" and the system was up.
Going to https://kbin.localhost .. told me that I forgot to build my npm or yarn assets. Whoops!
Since I didn't want to mess around with yarn on the host system (though that probably would have worked if I tried) I just found the kbin-php container id by checking the list from "docker ps" and then used "docker exec -it [kbin-php-container-id] /bin/sh" to log in with a shell. Then I ran "apk add yarn" followed by "yarn install" and "yarn build"
After that everything worked.
Somehow I missed seeing the configuration section, and so I created an admin user by registering a new user through the UI, and then running "docker exec -it [postgres-contanier-id] psql -U kbin kbin" to connect direcly to the database. Using psql I executed "update "user" set roles="['ROLEADMIN']", isverified=true where id = 1;" then logged out and logged back in get recognized as an admin.
Finally I went ahead and created the random magazine through the UI.
Something is still off. The UI works fine and anything locally is good, but I can not seem to subscribe to magazines on other instances or even search for them from my own kbin.local - they just comes up empty. Not sure why this is happening but I'll update as soon as I learn more!
Good on that mod for standing up to reddit! An inspiration to us all.
I've been thinking about setting up a single-user instance of kbin for myself. Maybe this is the kick in the pants I need to finally get around to it.
I think this might be it. Assumed it wasn't there because it wasn't in r/all right away - which in turn might be a side effect of all the changes reddit put in to hide protest content from r/all.
So folks casually browsing and not knowing the subs may not see the news right away there, and give up and look at other sites instead. I'm happy to call this another win for the protest.
It seems like the exact breakdown isn’t known but certainly without the protest traffic the traffic would be down by a significant chunk still.
None afaik. Only one I heard about that was going to give it a go was Relay but in the end it doesn’t matter.
The dev tried so hard but couldn’t make it work.

They may not need to. Already trained, already got the data that they need. Going forward they can just continue training with the input from
The users (all the folks talking to ChatGPT directly for example).
Basically the protests are still working. Even the John Oliver ones - reddit has to pay expenses to handle the traffic but are getting fewer revenue in response.
Keep up the good work people!
fyi here's the kbin localized url, https://kbin.social/m/random/p/535360/Kbin-covering-all-the-current-news-and-rumours-out-of
To be honest, I'm kinda okay if this powermod gets unbanned - as long as all the folks who got permabanned without reason also get a fair hearing to get unbanned.
This doesn't answer the questions. (How long was his account listed as a moderator for that sub? And did he even know about it? Finally, if he knew about it, why didn't he remove himself right away?)
So happy to see folks are still setting up new kbin instances like this.
I don't know if a timeline was made public but i imagine back then that either a) you might not even get the notification when made a mod somewhere or b) filterng wasn't good so that particular one was lost and drowned in a ton of notifications.
So it becomes somewhat plausible that spez was actually unaware of this fact for a bit.
That said, my gut feeling is that he knew about it but tried to justify it publicly and to other reddit employees as some kind of "for free speech!" sort of thing. I dare not go any deeper and speculate about his private thoughts on the matter...
Can someone show me how to find this? I can't figure it out.
Also curious if it's possible to see who is subscribed to a magazine or who is following me.
