Kbin or Mbin? Which do you prefer? (midwest.social)

Thinking of leaving Lemmy for kbin or mbin to have Mastodon integration. Mastodon is my favorite place in the fediverse and it looks like kbin/mbin will allow me to interact with EVERYTHING under one account rather than have a Lemmy and Mastodon account.

i run an mbin instance (moist.catsweat.com). due to the recent fork, they are more or less identical... the APIs are still in sync, etc. mobile apps that work on on should work on the other. it might break apart in the future, not sure.

i donate to kbin financially to support the original source of kbin, but manage/prefer a community-developed platform so ive chose mbin.

The largest mbin instance is a patch behind everyone else (1.2.0- fedia.io) vs 1.2.1 you as well as most others are running. Do you know why that is?

I couldn't even get an activation mail from fedia.io. Not sure what's up with them.

Fedia.io was pretty broken before switching from kbin to mbin. Depending on when you created the account, it may have just been busted.

A couple days ago.

Ah, that'd be after the switch then. @jerry@infosec.exchange is the admin for fedia (and a handful of other Fediverse services) if you're interested in troubleshooting.

@IlliteratiDomine @DarkThoughts Thanks for tagging me. I wasn't aware there was a problem. I'll take a look.

@IlliteratiDomine @DarkThoughts I found the problem - it was an error I introduced when moving fedia,io to containers recently. it works now.

Damn within 3 hours on you’ve identified the issue and fixed it for users.

What horrible customer service, you’re meant to make us wait weeks! Now I can’t bitch about something I didn’t even know was an issue.

You're the best, Jerry. Glad you were able to get things sorted!
