It’s Lemmy. It’s Mastodon. It’s all of the fediverse in the palm of your hand. One account that just does everything. It’s based on kbin but forked because of Kbin’s inability to allow other developers to help the project.
The flagship instances here on Mbin is kbin.melroy.org. It’s the home of lead dev melroy@kbin.melroy.dev himself! If you would but give mbin a chance I think you’d find it pleasing to use aesthetically and functionally.
Come on over!
Really happy to see Mbin progress, it’s definitely a nice alternative to Lemmy!
One account that just does everything.
Did you expect the lone developer of kbin to give you a good back rub too?
I’m just an end-user and that experience has been great.
I’ve compiled lemmy a few times - it’s fairly straightforward. I’ve tried to compile kbin before, but gave up bored and pissed off with the instructions - they seem endless, and like a big list of ‘edit this file’ (with no indication for whether you’re adding or updating info), ‘now edit this file’, ‘now go back and edit the first file again’. I know mbin isn’t kbin, but the instructions are the same.
I was trying because someone from there subscribed to a community I made just using ActivityPub, but nothing I’ve sent there has actually appeared. If you send the wrong stuff to lemmy, it errors. It’s not always the most useful message, but it’s at least a ‘400 Bad Request’, not the ‘200 OK {}’ you get back from kbin. What does it want? Does it not like ‘Create/Page’? Is there a problem with the content? I don’t know, because I can’t [be bothered to] compile it, and the tech specs for these 'bins lead to a 404.
I guess I missed the drama around kbin? Good to clear up (at least in part) what lay behind your fork.
We also have an app for Android
Get that sucker on F-droid! 🎉
Cool project.
TBH, I’m just about to locally ban a few kbin magazines that are just completely overrun with spam.
Wish they’d delegate some of the moderation at least.hoping this isn’t leading to a sewer opening or sketchy van uh….sure…?
