    kbin: The OG content aggregation service that was popular during the Reddit exodus and the foundation for mbin

    Weirdly worded I think, Lemmy has been going for years before kbin. I’ve been hosting kbin for a short while, I didn’t really get into it admittedly.

      I think in this context they’re only talking about apps that are no longer maintained. So it is the OG reddit replacement that isn’t being maintained. But yeah, kind of weird wording all throughout.

    The tricky part with self-hosting isn’t just getting it running, it’s managing upgrades across the whole stack without breaking dependencies. You need a solid rollback strategy, or you’re just asking for trouble when the next CVE drops.
