Hey, I just met you, And this is crazy, But here's my number!
- Comment on Why isn't Mbin more popular? 1 day ago:
kbin.social did lift off. Maybe even too much for this software at the time?
- Comment on Why isn't Mbin more popular? 2 days ago:
If Mbin is meant to be a "Lemmy and Mastodon client" alone, then it is a quirky Lemmy "app" and less responsive Mastodon "app".
But it shines only when it scales. This, however needs more users taking use of eg. magazines' custom CSS (and these don't even federate!), keeping track on most popular Mastodon & co hashtags, adding these tags to Mbin magazines, following outside accounts to federate them to instance, etc...
All the Great Exodus fledditors, people craving for non-tankie Threadiverse service, and also curious fedinauts from outside made this happen on kbin.social, and this is what I loved in it the most.
Mbin happened when kbin.social was already crumbling, but many of its users (me included) still hoped for it. When kbin.social definitely collapsed, the previous kbinauts were already aware of not-tankie Lemmy instances, like sh.itjust.works (hosting MeanwhileOnGrad), sopuli.xyz, or generic lemmy.world.
Maybe the more aggresive Mbin marketing (have you seen the sidebar of this community - it still mentions "KBin"...) would help Mbin - but only at cost of making drama with existing kbinauts. With Lemmy's toxicity problem being talked much recently (and instances being closed because of it) I am glad, that things did not go that way.
- Comment on Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting? 5 days ago:
Some mobile apps support Mastodon and Bluesky at the same time - like SoraSNS for iOS, Mac and other Apple devices or Openvibe
- Comment on Being a Mastodon Moderator 1 week ago:
I just don't wasn't then to waste their time locally blocking a clear spam account, that should (and usually will be) removed by the originating instance in a couple hours.
I am afraid, that removal of spam account does not necessarily federate to another instance. On Mastodon activities federate mainly to instances an account, which made/edited/deleted the post, is followed from. (Or an instance can subscribe to relay, which exchanges all activities between all participating instances).
Report always landing to your admin may be something good in light of this...

- Comment on Is there a Fediverse Status Page 2 weeks ago:
Individual Mastodon (et al.) instances may provide their own status pages. But nothing Mastodon-wide.
- Comment on Federated Social Media with Topic-Based Following and Blocking? 3 weeks ago:
You would love kbin.social.
It combined posts from Lemmy and Mastodon, allowing to browse and sort both of these like on Reddit. Mastodon toots were matched to respective magazines (like Lemmy/Piefed communities) based on their hashtags. And multireddit-like feature (called Collections there, and recently reimplemented in federated form by PieFed as Feeds) allowed any user to combine several magazines, Lemmy communities and Guppe groups in a single view.
All of these has been inherited by Mbin (a /kbin fork), outside of Collections/Feeds.
Largest instances are https://fedia.io and https://kbin.earth. There are much smaller, than flagship /kbin instance have been, though, so both will be aware of less posts...
- Comment on Federated Social Media with Topic-Based Following and Blocking? 3 weeks ago:
OP wants to sort posts by popularity and unfortunately Mastodon does not allow that :(
Trending posts exist but only instance-wide - Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Brutalinks (HN/Lobsters clone, one-community per instance), lotide (minimalist, RIP), Prismo (RIP)
- Comment on Is there a federated LinkedIn? 4 weeks ago:
This probably won't help you, but there was Flockingbird. However its attempt to index Mastodon's job offers ended up in drama as Mastodon generally does not like being indexed...
Just use Mastodon.
- Comment on In regard to big instances shutting down and search results 4 weeks ago:
You probably want to use another Lemmy instance to search for this content.
(and actually Sepia Search is simply a search engine for PeerTube and that's it. You are still getting the video only after you visit the instance...)

Updated, thanks!
- Comment on Bluesky is more open than you think. 5 weeks ago:
I blame this on an UX blunder.
Bluesky users are taught not to enter their Bluesky passwords to enter different apps, but rather create a different "app password" for each one. Then Frontpage went OAuth which directs users to Bluesky login page.
Bluesky brings us a different login page for OAuth use :/ and obviously does not remember that we are already logged in in the same browser.This of course means that we have to enter a Bluesky password to a slightly different-looking website - a somewhat fishy way to authenticate a user...
- Comment on Bluesky is more open than you think. 1 month ago:
Or even 33% as we should count PieFed and Mbin too (this makes 48k MAU overall). All 3 "apps" make one network.
- Comment on What's a good instance to be on at the moment? 1 month ago:
There is Interstellar, which I'm using right now.

- Comment on Which Lemmy instances use Photon? 1 month ago:
It's default on lemdro.id, suppo.fi and fedit.pl
- Comment on Is chachara.club down? 1 month ago:
Refresh the site.
And when you see nothing or something from .ml, refresh again.
Some cursed behaviour from their lemmy-ui frontend. Something with enviroment variables??

- Comment on We have to solve the money problem! 1 month ago:
Something similar is available for PeerTube:
- Platform redundancy by P2P, and
- offload of transcoding and transcription to Remote Runners - Comment on Lemm.ee communities migration megathread 1 month ago:

- Comment on Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse? 1 month ago:
PewDiePie posting on PeerTube will result with many of his videos being viewed on PeerTube. But either:
- he would make an instance only for himself and majority of his viewers would fail to make a Fediverse account to follow him, or
- he would open that instance for his viewers to make a account there, but then he would be liable for every comment made by his viewers, or
- he would make an account on already existing instance, making a great burden of moderating his viewers for existing administration and moderation team.
An entire network cannot be effectively marketed and accomodate a new users' wave as well as any centralised website, like YouTube, or Bluesky.
- Comment on Lemm.ee communities migration megathread 1 month ago:
I want instance name to be exposed and exclamation mark style works like this for Lemmy and PieFed, but not for Mbin.
Mbin shows only a comm... magazine logo and its name, but instance URL is hidden.
Of course this is manageable as I could make a disclaimer for mbinauts... but not today.

And the community's only mod has been active over a month ago. Nothing happens yet.
