Hear hear!
I never really contributed much to reddit, as usually you had the people that perpetually watched twitter / news sources / new reddit posts getting in first, to the point where there wasn't a whole lot of point getting involved outside of voting, because someone else has already said whatever you were about to.
Here though, I'm itching to contribute and get the ball rolling on magazines. Just a shame the performance issues are hampering that, haha!
The performance issues will sort themselves out. The timing is just bad for kbin.social
But it's not a performance issue, so much as it is people learning how the Fediverse works. At it's best, there shouldn't be any megaservers where everybody is signed up. There should be many smaller servers, that are interacting with each other, via federation. It's a little different way of looking at things.
Sounds like people are looking into it e.g. https://mastodonapp.uk/@wild1145/110532540808254216 (wild1145 already runs mastodonapp.uk)
The only reason I haven't gotten an instance spun up yet, is because I'm old, and set in my ways, and don't really understand how to configure and get kbin running with Docker. As soon as somebody that's better at this than I am gets some sort of "Docker for dummies wanting to setup kbin" up, I'll spin it up, I've already got a nice beefy VPS sitting there with Mastodon/Matrix/Nextcloud running on it, and plenty of resources left.
