Could someone recommend a working and well-maintained #kbin or #mbin instance to me? I deleted my Lemmy account because of reasons and I thought kbin looked pretty nice, so I signed up to kbin.cafe only to realise that the last few federated posts are from 2+ weeks ago, lol.
We're one week into 2024, do you know what that means? Time to clean up your #SNS “following” especially here in the #Fediverse.
Check the “dormant” accounts if you can unfollow them.
Check which accounts “moved”. Follow their new account, then unfollow their old account.
And maybe there are other accounts that you haven't interacted with in the past few months; and their content is no longer something that you are interested, you can unfollow them too.
If you still want to see their content, you can encourage them to use #hashtags and you follow those hashtags. Or, join a federated “group” like those powered by #Mbin#Kbin#Friendica#Chirp and #Lemmy.
Of course, depending on the fediverse platform your instance is using, there are probably better features to the content of users without seeing their content that is not of interest to you. A good example, #Firefish / #Catodon / #IceShrimp can do that through the “Antenna” feature.
Take some time to do this, and start your 2024 fediverse better than 2023.
Has anyone found a clever way to host 2 separate activotypub servers under the same domain name so that they share accounts, e.g. I could log into an Mbin instance and a Mastodon instance with the same user credentials. Or is that not possible?
Mbin is alive and kicking! A community-focused fork of Kbin, which has tons of improvements, features and bug fixes. Mbin is a federated content aggregator, voting, discussion and microblogging platform.
Feel free to host your own instance on the fediverse! If you are already running Kbin; migrating is straightforward towards Mbin and experience the benefits yourself.
@jcrabapple Thank you so much for trying out Mbin again! For the reasons you mentioned the fork was created in the first place. We embracing the Collective Code Construction Contract, meaning no single maintainer anymore. We are all maintainers now. For the community, by the community! It accelerated development, contributions and PRs! Feel free to also join the community on Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#mbin:melroy.org
@robb@bugle FediDB discovers new instances from various sources, but it requires nodeinfo for server level inclusion
For software inclusion, I manually curate that, hit me up when you have nodeinfo and I'll add your project to the software list! (The only other requirements are website or source code repo, short description and license)
