Hats off, guys. I can’t even imagine how hard it must have been for you guys to keep kbin.social up and running since yesterday.

As a recent refugee from Reddit, I promise to wind down my use of Reddit until such a time as/if when they get rid of their API restrictions. I promise to play my part towards the newly forming community here and create content for the community at large.

    PHP is fine. Lets not forget it’s been used by the likes of Facebook, Wikipedia etc. which are much bigger websites then Kbin.

      Kinda. PHP is fine for web workloads. Don’t forget Facebook tried to move off PHP and wrote Hack/HHVM because of the performance. It just happens that PHP 7 was faster.

      I’ve not looked at the codebase, but there are probably some routines (search) that could be done faster outside pure PHP/Postgres.

      The dev seems to have done a pretty good job with this though, performance issues are likely server load more than the stack. Not sure what he’s running this on…
