There's been a lot more updates since then. Is he still not working on anything?
Edit: I see it's been 2 months on codeberg.

I understand why they disabled public downvotes (since they're accepting incoming ones now, they don't want to expose everyone's downvotes from other instances), and I remember they gave some reasoning on Github for why it makes sense to not hide upvotes too, but do we really need incoming downvotes? I think that feature should be a toggle where you either have downvotes hidden but federated, or visible but not federated. And then the instance owner can decide what they prefer.
That's really my main issue with mbin. While I've gotten too used to the All Content view and collections, both of those are on their roadmap, so they'll be coming eventually.
This is a good discussion here. I'm sure I am not the only person to have other accounts (an mbin and a lemmy) but I am pretty invested here. But your #1 option has some relavent points.
Edit to add I have been digging the microblogs and miss that from what I can see on mbin. Maybe my error. I can't even find them.
Mbin does support microblogs. I believe there's a "Microblog" button in the navigation bar for desktop, and the same button found in the side drawer on mobile.
I've been curious about trying out mbin, and this seems like a good instance to do it on. So I absolutely like option 2 the best.
That said, I tried to sign up earlier today, and never received the registration email. Tried to sign up with an old Gmail account. Might be worth looking into. :)
Sorry about that, and thanks for letting me know. I had no idea the email system was down. I'll probably try to look into it after the migration to Mbin. I've gone ahead and manually verified each user from the past week, so you should be able to sign in now.
Ok, I was able to figure out what was wrong. All registration and password reset emails should be working now.
So the migration to mbin is done or just wanted to fix that first anyways? ^^
No, we haven't migrated yet. I just decided to fix that first.
Ok. I think Im gonna test it out aswell once migration is done
Sounds good! Migration probably won't happen today, but maybe tomorrow or the day after if we get lucky. Unfortunately, I ran into a problem while trying to set up Mbin due to one of the mbin/kbin dependencies suddenly disappearing out of the blue (see here).
The migration to Mbin is complete! Let me know if you run into any issues.
Awesome! Will look to register tonight or tomorrow, when I find the time. Thanks for letting me know :)
