Hello everyone, check out my announcement post linked above and if you don’t know who I am, check out my past post to learn more about me and It would mean a lot of you show your support for my future iniatives inside the fediverse!
And please consider joining AskMbin through Lemmy! You certainly can thanks to federation right from Lemmy! :)
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.
Why use a discord when you have … Other tools?
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/knows 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 for now 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 :)
Okie doke. Carry on, good sir/ma’am/other.
Are there apps for mbin?
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. (I’m the dev, btw)
Well, for starters it only has a card view. That means only one submission fits onto the screen in full at a time, which I personally find unusable, because it is kinda like I have to look at every single submission / thread. Compared to Lemmy or Reddit apps where I can display around 4-5 on my screen, easily skipping the ones I don’t care about.
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.
Good luck!
