I believe their instance is still overloaded.
You can try joining another federated instance.
Oh I’ve already joined 3 instances and like hopping between them all… though for now I’d say I like kbin’s layout the best due to the 3/6/12/etc hour filter option
Kbin is a particular software package, like Lemmy.
Kbin.social is a particular kbin instance, one run by the kbin developer Earnest. But it doesn't have to be the only place to use kbin.
People can set up more instances. They download kbin and install it on a server somewhere, and one more instance joins the Fediverse.
There are other kbin instances that people have been adding, though the only time I tried signing up for one of them (kbin.lol) to try to reduce load on kbin.social, something was broken with its email verification and I wasn't able to register.
I expect that over time, other popular kbin instances will show up and people will iron out the quirks in them.
Here's a list of current kbin instances. The desktop version of the site shows an indicator of whether each is allowing the general public to register for an account there. The mobile one only seems to me to show the first two columns of the chart, but if you choose "show desktop version" in a mobile Web browser, you should be able to see all the columns in the chart.
