When you filter the servers to open registration and up-to-date/not-abandoned, there’s actually a really limited selection of Mbin servers left (5 total). So I don’t think decentralization matters to much in this case. Those servers include: fedia.io, kbin.earth, kbin.melroy.org, moist.catsweat.com, and thebrainbin.org. There’s also gehirneimer.de for German language.

You can see the full list here: joinmbin.org/servers

Both sites are legit. https://fedidb.org/software/mbin is also fine if people want to use it. FediDB is created by Daniel (@dansup@pixelfed.social), he also created Pixelfed.

I disagree. Mbin is so small at this point that going to fedia.io isn’t even an issue.

As users pour in, over the millions, then they’ll spread out. But for now, it’s kind of like worrying that the town is getting too crowded because a 5th house was built, and the other town only has 2 houses.
