I don’t agree at all with the lack of ambition.

Well the fact is yes, Mastodon is still relatively small compared to Facebook, X or Bluesky. Mastodon has actually 7,616,908 users total: https://fedidb.org/software/mastodon. Which is a huge number, but most likely a lot of bot accounts and non-active account to be honest.

Now the reason why is Mastodon is not as large as Bluesky is debatable. I actually blame ActivityPub protocol and the complex nature of trying to become a federated platform.

Let’s be honest now, most people do not care (or don’t have the technical knowledge) to understand federation or decentralization. Hence people will just jump to the easiest solution: A big centralized server, aka X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Bluesky. Same for search engines like Google.

Like what?

I do like to have full markdown support that is for sure.

the best i could find is coming soon

Sorry what you do mean? Mbin has full Mastodon support. You can look-up users and toots. You can follow people on Mastodon from a Mbin instance.

Mbin already integrates with Mastodon.

This will be booming once TikTok will be banned in the US haha

Yea, he got a bit too much on his shoulders I believe.

Tja…

Picture is just JPG. But like I said, it’s the activity pub message which I believe Lemmy can’t handle very well (or at all?). Its using a so called “attachment” attribute to the message. Here Mastodon also supports it: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#properties-used

Here an example of this:

It’s a jpg.

But the problem is most likely related to the ActivityPub message. It seems that Lemmy doesn’t support attachments!?

owh… I blame Lemmy software.

Here is the image.

I didn’t saw it earlier… :P

The thread itself is actually already 1 year old. Well, look at the screens above. Somebody asked for a follow-up, so I gave a follow-up of both the average posts by day for Lemmy as well as Mbin… The trend is still up.

And… for the Mbin users out there. Here is the same average posts by day, but on the Mbin platform.

It seems that. 1) Cumulative graph is removed, because cumulative doesn’t make sense. There is an average graph though. Average Lemmy Posts by Day… 2) In just a single day the numbers of this new average graph exploded… that can’t be right… 3) What about all the spam posts!??

It’s most like a Mbin thing. But if you want to give constructive feedback, please let us know via our chat or issue ticket. And show the issues you have with screenshots.

Well… the answer is always yes. But you can mitigate the problem further by not only disable account registration but also check the setting “Force users to login before they can access any content”.

So in the end, that means that nobody can see any content without logging in. And since you are the only account, only you can see the federated content.

Both sites are legit. https://fedidb.org/software/mbin is also fine if people want to use it. FediDB is created by Daniel (@dansup@pixelfed.social), he also created Pixelfed.

yeh I agree, the hyperlinks needs more contrast. And also on the homepage the sub-title “A federated content aggregator, voting, discussion and microblogging platform (By the community, for the community)”, can also have more contrast.

I also believe the text (especially headings maybe) can use a more bolder text. @jwr1@kbin.earth Try to set font-weight of 400 on the .font-extralight CSS class instead of 200.

@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org if you want to share your problems in more details, please help us out you can join the issue chat on Matrix if you like. And ideally share some screenshots if that would help to explain the problem. Another approach is to create an issue at GitHub (which does require a GitHub account): https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin-website/issues/new

Or explain the situation here in this thread in more detail is also possible, but that is up to you.

As long as you report the content and act fast if such kind of material is on your site. Also you can disable account registration, so it only you and maybe some friends you know that have an account.

Last but not least, you can also block domains in Mbin. I blocked some domains I just do not want to federate with!

And yes you can add that in the admin panel yourself.
