I already created the discord server a long while back when I was at r/RedditAlternatives, people knew what it was and many average users were already on the platform hence accessible, matrix is great but still not at a stage where the average person uses it compared to tech nerds or enthusiasts, besides we already have around 100 people if not more on the discord server, reusing it made more sense although I wouldn’t mind creating a matrix in the future once the community grows to offer another way of keeping in touch with our community for those who have or are ready to go to Matrix :)

It won't show any posts if you're joining from a remote instance 'cos MBin returns empty outboxes for their magazines, but there's only one post there atm anyways.
Lemmy will probably error when clicking that link, so just wait a bit and refresh.
So this comment has one link, and two paragraphs about how it might not work as expected, but - other than that - yay Fediverse!, I guess, ha ha.

The link seemed to work for me from lemmy. I see three posts there when I click it at least.

Can you elaborate on outboxes? Idk what that means but I have been working on an mbin instance and it has been a struggle... Thanks for posting the ! I'm gonna use that, also.

No good ones yet.

If you have any feedback for Interstellar (the only Mbin app I know of), please share. I use the app daily, and it works great for my use case, but I don't automatically know what other people would like until they communicate it.

Mbin seems like a healthy project, and the only sensible move from kbin.

PieFed is also a nice project, though it doesn't do microblogging so it's more of a Lemmy alternative.
I guess the whole point here is that people come from different platforms - I'm not sure it makes too much sense to include the platform in the community name at all. General names like 'AskFedi' or AskAround' would make a lot more sense in my book. I don't really care all that much which software a community is hosted on.
