Hey, I didn’t come up with it. You could ask @originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com though.

Hey, I didn’t come up with it. You could ask @originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com though.
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
I’m the one who made the website. Do you think if we just brightened the outlines around the ui elements that that would help with the contrast?
To me, it looks fine, but if changing something made it better for other people, I’m all for it.
This is not true, as of 4 months ago. kbin.earth is running Mbin now.
Not sure I understand your question, but Interstellar is built with Flutter, and currently supports Android and Linux (x86_64) via Google Play, F-Droid, and Flathub. And yes, it’s both Lemmy and Mbin.
I’ve looked into it before, and Apple developer accounts cost $100 every year, which I am not willing to pay out of pocket. If someone decided they wanted to donate that amount every year, then I would probably reconsider. I also don’t have any Apple hardware, so I would need additional help in that regard; I could emulate macOS (which is a pain though), but I would need someone to actually test on a real iPhone.
Wow, this gained a lot more traction than the original post.
Honey mustard
I’ve said before that I could add piefed support to Interstellar (it already had Lemmy and mbin support). The only thing I need is an api.
Hey, thanks for linking that. I actually made that from scratch within the past month. It has dedicated Servers, Apps, and Releases pages, and also a home screen for info about Mbin. The home page needs a lot of work though, so if anyone here is good at UI design and would like to help, feel free to comment.
I don’t think there is a way to donate (monetarily) directly to Mbin, at least not at the moment.
The second best thing might would be to donate to server admins, which a lot of them actually are Mbin developers anyway.
That’s correct. When we know of more apps, they’ll be added here: joinmbin.org/apps.
Looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it out.
It’s a link to an article I found interesting. It basically details why we’re still using 64-bit CPUs, just as you mentioned.
Same with kbin.earth. Unfortunately, one problem with the fediverse is that everything (users, magazines, posts, comments, etc.) is tied to the instance’s domain, so it can’t really be changed at all.
Thanks for the interest. So far, I’ve only had one (or maybe two) other person(s) ask about iOS support, so I haven’t really looked much into it so far.
I could set up a donation page (like GitHub sponsors), but my guess is that it would receive nowhere near the amount of an Apple Developer account ($100 a year).
I also don’t have an iPhone or Mac. I should be able to get around the Mac by using a VM (I’ve done it before), but it is a pain.
Hey, if there’s already a stable api available, I’d be willing to add piefed support to the Interstellar app.
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)
Just curious, what was the reason for blocking those first three instances?
If there are any specific features you feel are missing, feel free to reach out. We are always looking to improve. (I’m the developer btw.)
Even now, we have several major features queued for the next update and are in the process of a much needed ui overhaul.
