Pull Requests require at least one (1) other maintainer approval before the PR gets merged (built-in peer review process).
The mbin fork happened when kbin development was looking a lot less active. In any case, it's not necessarily bad to have a diversity of approaches. Due to their differing organizational structures, mbin will likely tend to have more features and more rapid development, but also potentially more bugs, while kbin remains more stable.
Hmm, that seems like not such a good look from Ernest. According to google translate:
I know, honestly it was on purpose. I noticed that forks sync changes immediately with /kbin. I wanted to check how they deal with this much-announced community-based qualitative code review. Answer: they can't cope. Quite an obvious bug was accepted in PR and domerged into the main branch :P It now works properly on the rifle ;)
Hopefully everyone can play nice and work together productively.
Maintainers MAY merge incorrect patches from other Contributors with the goals of (a) ending fruitless discussions, (b) capturing toxic patches in the historical record, (c) engaging with the Contributor on improving their patch quality.
I asked around and asked in the C4 specification matrix room.
And the reason is actually simple. If you merge bad code, have a record of proof in git (pull requests aren't forever it's only a github/gitlab thing).
So the idea is if you merge bad code you have proof in the git record that there is a bad actor. You can always revert the commit again or fix it. And the record can act as a proof in case the community want to get rid of bad actors.

Domain blocking isn't instance blocking. It's for if you don't want to see posts that link to, for example, imgur.com. It's also broken and will just hide random posts from you.
Blocking isn't working, can't view my notifcations, both get the weird error screen, is anyone at all still working on kbin, is anyone out there to assist in fixing these things?
Are you blocking the individual users, or the domain? I've heard that domain blocking is buggy, so try unblocking any domains and see if it helps. It also isn't supposed to block instances, just posts that link to the blocked domain.
I'm a mod over at lemmy.ca/c/torontobluejays, and a subscriber there who subs from Kbin mentioned in a post that they have not been able to see the bot-posted game day threads that are posted for each days Blue Jays Game. I've created an account here to confirm that, and it's the same for me as well. I also don't see any...
The same thing seems to be happening with [email protected] and [email protected]. The former hasn't had a post show up on kbin since July 13th, while the later doesn't appear to have any posts at all. Initially I was thinking maybe it was due to the lemmy bug that mistakenly marks some connected instances as inactive and stops sending them updates. It may be specifically because these are bot accounts, though.
Feel intensely unmotivated to work on kbin userstyle 🛏️🛏️🛏️ Got started with it , worked pretty much nonstop since joining , yet nowhere close to done
Only so much i can do with userstyles , thought maybe forking instead so i can rearrange HTML , but instructions for setting up local env assume linux machine
Some thoughts about using the Microblog functionality in kbin and why, controversially, I think it might actually beat Mastodon at it's own game - browsing toots....
I feel like the microblog feature would be more useful if we could get a separate feed/filter that doesn't include the tags of magazines that you're subscribed to. For example, I'm subscribed to /m/fediverse because I want to see the threads that people post here. I don't necessarily want to see every mastodon post tagged #fediverse, though.
It also looks like we can't subscribe to a tag by itself, without subscribing to a magazine that includes that tag. So yeah, some more separation there would be nice.
I've had a number of items I've wanted to save for future reference. I can't seem to find an option on the Furefox mobile site that allows me to do that....
Yeah, basically like newcommunities/communitydiscoveries. I figure since new instances are less common, it would be feasible to maintain a master list there. Whereas newcommunities gets several posts per day.
Having spent a lot of time on Mastodon... There are tons of people there talking about federated and self-hosted services, software freedom, censorship, encryption, tech regulation... A very narrow range of topics directly surrounding the fediverse get a lot of attention....

I think part of it is that leftists (myself included) don't like being lumped in with tankies. I didn't downvote though.
The lead devs of lemmy are tankies, basically meaning authoritarian communists of the genocide-apologist variety. They also run the lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml instances.
This is also why I signed up on kbin instead of on lemmy. The other lemmy instances are fine, but I don't want to contribute to the influence of the lemmy devs any more than necessary. Hopefully they try to pull something stupid and get forked off the project.
I'm changing my stance on the whole Meta/project92 thing after reading this article. I think the entire* fediverse should block project92 by default. Later, some instances can re-evaluate whether to maintain those blocks, once we have a better idea of what the benefits and consequences of federating will be:...

Hello from [email protected]
We’re making our way through the Fediverse, takin’ her easy for all us sinners.
Besides tech-focused instances, what other subject focused Lemmy/Kbinstances have you found?
