I just joined Kbin. How is the name supposed to be pronounced? Like cabin?

Hi, good to see you here :) I honestly have no idea what the pronunciation is. It's a reference to the Linux /sbin, a container for things that are important to you. This is intentional, I want /kbin to be perceived as each individual instance. Each instance is different. Each community is different. That's what's cool about the Fediverse.

I just like the fact that it sounds like a piece of KDE software 😅😅😅

I do "K" "Bin", and then read it together. That's how I've been pronouncing it and imagined others were doing the same?
