someone pointed out that Melroy, a very active developer on kbin, forked kbin to mbin […] so I am retracting my shutdown announcement
I wonder if he’s talking about you in here
Comment on Fedia.io is shutting down (and re-opening as a Lemmy instance)
debounced@kbin.run 8 months agosome of us have moved over to mbin, it's a fork of kbin with an emphasis on community driven development. i've already migrated kbin.run over. ActivityPub is very domain name specific once things federate out, so i'm sticking with kbin in the domain...for now.

Huh, got me intrigued, gotta say. Any significant differences between mbin and kbin you can point out? I know for me the Mastodon interactivity doesn't work the best, and finding the context of replies in threads doesn't work when it goes to multi-page.

mbin is a very recent fork (has all the latest commits from the kbin dev branch as of today), so not much of anything "new" or groundbreaking has happened yet. i think the main thing right now is catching up on the backlog of PRs that have been stuck in the kbin queue for months, even basic things like bumping the dependency versions to improve package security was enough to convince me to move my instance over.

Ahh gotcha. So this is the start of the fork. Interesting.
Well I'm definitely gonna keep an eye on it. Think I'll make an account over on your side too just to keep up with my basic plan of diversification.
