Part of me thinks the rapid growth is over and that user retention is the new struggle; but part of me holds out hope that the reddit api finally dying will push over yet another wave of users

One worry I have is the opposite scale. Active user growth have been pretty linear so far, but the network effect is pushing user activity growth at a higher rate.

But there is still under 100 kbin servers.

If there is a burst of new users and post activity after the API change, will the system be able to scale up fast enough to cope?

Knob is mainly just aggregating Lemmy and Mastodon. So it does not need so many servers. Lemmy has surpassed 1000 servers a few days ago.

We will get there.

Plenty of magazines and content over here on Kbin, it's certainly not just an aggregator.
