I'm down for giving it a go, and have created an account on fedia.io, but the 'hot' page has nothing new for 17 hours.
Given the mostly shared codebase between kbin/mbin I wonder if there is something screwing with federation, and with it just having been the weekend there's probably not been anyone around to notice.
Same. kbin.social is big enough that it needs extra people behind the scenes, not just with development but with community engagement and spam control, probably other things I am not thinking of. I threw a message to volunteer for anything, and I'm not rescinding that.
I remain hopeful that kbin.social is successful, but there's writing on the wall that demands attention.
I made an account with fedia just as a backup to see things when kbin has issues, but I'm not leaving kbin just yet. The nice thing is that there are forks and alternatives. I even still have a lemmy account from the first days when I was figuring out stuff. I get that people prefer to have a home base and post history, maybe even care about connections made, replies to, and even upvoting. But even back when I found Reddit from leaving a dying old-style forum my first goal was to have a place to read and discuss a variety of topics, and even hopping around the fediverse I can still do that.
I hope Ernest sticks with it and kbin continues to mature (sounds like he's got stuff coming), but I also hope mbin does its own things as a fork, and lemmy tries different approaches (with its own variants). Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations is always a great goal.
We'll stick here and wait it out, and see if it becomes more stable.
Still no talk from Ernest about expanding out a team for something as big as kbin.
This post has made me realize I need to consolidate them and get them into one post of each depth. Also, I need to put the divided square file up, since I designed it, but haven’t posted it yet. I think I will wait and print it to make sure it works properly before I put it up. Maybe this weekend. . .
How have the bolts held up? It looks like you’ve default oriented them vertically. I’ve found that makes the stress along the layer lines and I’ve had to reprint horizontally (which means support but that’s how it is)
Clamped just doesn’t quite feel like the right descriptor for this design. I was imagining some type of cammed or levered system, but instead there’s just large screws that do all of the holding power. Regardless, it’s still a cool design, and I like it 😁
Have you found a good website with information for sewing machine repair? Mine needs some serious recalibration, but somehow all I can find is the most basic info on user-level adjustments.
Normally I have no trouble finding detailed technical info, but for some reason I just can’t find it for sewing machines.
