It is good to really see your true nature now. I'm also think the fork is the best thing that could have happened for the community. It's a pity that you never started a conversation, but instead you still try to do mean things like this.

Ow.. it was 100% intentional. You said it yourself: "Wiem, szczerze mówiąc było to celowe. Zauważyłem, że forki synchronizują od razu zmiany z /kbin.". https://karab.in/m/karabin/p/340377/Usterka-z-crosspostami-nie-zawsze-sa-przyporzadkowane-odpowiedniemu-watkowi-matce-at-ernest#post-comment-510980

I know your approach on PRs. Hence the main reason of the fork. The community does believe in their people and the good in mankind. Only 1 approval is required from another maintainer for now. We are using C4 way of working.

Well I don't have a bad opinion about him (those are your assumptions), we just didn't agree on how a community project would/can work.

If however he did introduce intentionally a bug in kbin, just because of Mbin that's downright childish. The Mbin community does try to test all the incoming PRs (not just kbin sync PRs) on various instances apart from unit-tests, etc. We just do not want to depend on a single maintainer, hence a different way of working in the project.

He saying Mbin can't handle the kbin changes that is just not true (Odpowiedź: nie radzą sobie), at least we try to keep in sync (eg. for API comparability for upcoming mobile clients). But I'll leave it this, I'm not going to waste any more energy. I hope you understand.

Thanks for your recommendation.

Thanks for your feedback.

We do have code reviews in GitHub and discussions on Matrix. We updated the README that reflect our latest way of working. As stated in the comment section we are also working on it in PR: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/pull/34. Feel free to comment on that.

That is correct, we do not have an "official" instance or an "official" magazine. What follows now is MY OWN opinion, other community members might think differently.

Mbin is aiming for a federated and decentralized social network, I think the whole point of the fediverse is that there shouldn't be one main instance, right? Feel free to create a magazine where ever you want! Isn't that the beauty of activitypub? Maybe the idea takes some getting used to.

kbin.social is the official instance of kbin ;)

Despite the fork. I hope we can learn from each other indeed. That will only benefit both of us.

Although we merge into main it's not a release, we use GitHub/Docker tags to mark releases. And use semantic versioning if needed for minor and patch releases.

I feel a bit of negativity from you. This will be my last reply in this thread. She has resolved it herself by creating a magazine by herself on Mbin for Mbin: https://kbin.run/m/Mdev

Stuck between distros right now. ( kbin.social )

So, this sucks. On Mint, Firefox was running super sluggish to the point of being unusable. I reinstalled Ubuntucinnamon because I enjoyed using it when I had it installed, but between me last having it installed and now there seems to have been an update that has broken cinnamon's system tray. Which, for me, is a major...

Could you share the exact problem with mint?

melroy ,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Content as in within the web-browser? So maybe it's a Firefox issue? Or are you talking about something else?

melroy ,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Uhm. Still a strange issue. Could be a DNS resolve problem.

@db0 @pizza_rolls Tell me, which communities are you still missing?

@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Well. we need to start from somewhere, on kbin.social there is: @[email protected] and @[email protected]. Both should become more active. Just follow and post something I would say :)

On Lemmy you have @[email protected] and @[email protected]

Not even a second. I'm glad to first got rid of Facebook several years ago. Then Twitter. And recently also Reddit. No regrets.

Ps. I also don't have Instagram, TikTok or any of those non-sense.

Be kind. This is a scary and exciting time for the Fediverse. It’s been almost a year with very little rest for the developers, system administrators, and community managers who keep it running. The people building this place are tired, so be nice. They’re carrying a lot.

I can't agree more! Let's have some respect for each other and be kind. Otherwise, you are better off with Twitter or Reddit ;)

@ernest It says "Provide only if you want content from the fediverse to be included in this magazine based on tags". But if a user post a thread in the magazine, will it then also use the tags to basically "cross-post"? Or is it just getting/retrieving (instead of also pushing).

melroy ,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Indeed. And it didn't improve very well lately..

@Calcharger Even if I was not a kbin developer, I hope we can all respect each other :)

I decided to edit all of my comments to say that I left Reddit in protest and provide a link to the Fediverse. If I leave the comments up when I delete my account, can Reddit edit them back to what they originally were? Should I just delete them?

melroy ,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

@sanctuary_sanctuary Yes.. looking at the past history of Reddit actions. Reddit is constantly restoring threads and comments. Even deleted ones. Which is against various privacy protection acts.

Linux Mint is perfect! Avoid Ubuntu, which has a very shady history... Despite Mint being based on Ubuntu/Debian, it doesn't have any spying software. Like Ubuntu used to send all the search queries to Ubuntu when you were searching locally on your system for a file or an image.

melroy ,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Well you can in that case still try out Linux Mint.. I mean, why not?
