Everyone is welcome to join.

I have setup some scaling for the website(In k8s), so it should be able to handle a decent amount of people.
Can always add more resources, if there comes a need for it.

If you signup, please let me know of any issues you find(Via my email or matrix).

I wish there was a way to load balance signups. Kbin.social is sure to take the brunt of this next wave since it's the namesake.

I'm glad you went for a kbin.chat domain name, that should help new users to be a little less confused with choosing a home instance.

In theory, kbin instances could load balance by defaulting where registration gets posted.

As a bonus when logging in, you typically shouldn't have to choose which instance you connect to because it's in the username.

Only downside of load balancing is differences in admins and federation.
