Bought a T-Shirt and 2 dice sets directly after watching the NZXT video 😇

I don’t know why it wouldn’t… It just communicates with your lemmy server right? And lemmy accounts are able to follow mbin magazines / communities like any other community. Just try to follow !firefox@fedia.io

Yes it does federate with lemmy

there is !AskMbin@thebrainbin and also the matrix chat: https://matrix.to/#/#mbin:melroy.org if you need mbin specific help in the future :)

I think a lot of artists are on https://mastodon.art

Organuc Maps and Osmand are working well for me. Using Gmail with K9 Mail for example would still work, but you should definitely not use the Gmail App (which probably wont even work) Installing Google Play apps works flawlessly worh aurora, but In App purchases and payed apps are not supported

Yeah true… :/

That is unfortunate… And you really can’t import it?

Fairphone + iodeOS. You can buy it with it preinstalled, so no fiddeling with the bootloader if you dont want to

Just for the people interested in mbin, here are a few magazine/community pointers:

• !mbinReleases@gehirneimer.de
• !updates@kbin.melroy.org
• !mbinmeta@gehirneimer.de

I am part of the mbin team and I am really tired of hearing shittalking about us without any reason. Nobody has any reason to call us anything but passionate.

When melroy started the fork, really weird accusations were thrown around without being based on anything…

AP has a tool for that called inbox forwarding and mastodon uses it for sharing the comments under posts. It works like this: you send a reply to a user with their follower collection as the recipient. You of course cannot know who is following that user, however they than just forward this reply to the follower collection, because the server knows that it has authority over that collection. https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#inbox-forwarding

Its not really a “not playing well” with each other, it is just the mastodon works. That is the reason why most toots in my mastodon timeline have 0 favourites (upvotes) and only a few boosts… I don’t know why they do it, because at the minimum the followers of that user should be notified about that like…

I promise that I will never just suddenly vanish unless I actually die 😅

I actually have a LiberaPay, Patreon and Kofi page and only 3 people have donated so far. And those accounts are also used to take donations for my 2 mbin servers and my mid sized mastodon server (>100 “real” MAU)…

Your already helping a lot by helping other admins ❤️

I think we are getting there. Currently the biggest problem I see is that melroy and I are currently the main contributors with other experienced contributors gone or at least not regularly active (which is of course their right, but its just how it is). I do have a whole lot of ideas and plans for features and I am working on a lot simultaneously, though I wouldn’t say that it is a burden, more like a fun hobby. Admittedly this hobby takes a lot of time though 😅

I am very happy that new contributors are currently dipping their toe in the water and I hope they do stick around. Also a lot of the server admins are active in the matrix chat to help others out. So in this regard we are not alone.

I was honestly shocked that debounced left so suddenly and basically completely vanished… I didn’t think that anyone would do that… So honestly we cannot promise anything, but I think melroy will stay around and I certainly will as well 😇

I had the exact same problem and the solution was to ask my ISP who then either just gave me a public IP (Vodafone) or asked for money so my network could be reached from the outside (Primerocom). So check whether there is an option with you ISP to get a “public” IP.

I did my part 😇

We can look at PeerTube for an example of a system that could be shaped into what I meant: when you look at a post (video) from peertube it links lists for likes, dislikes and shares (so basically upvotes, downvotes and boosts). These collections contain a totalItems property, but also list the peoples identities, but just imagine that it wouldn’t be there. When a user now likes the video, the creator of the video now sends out an Update acitivity to all subscribers. Now all subscribers can update the counts for likes, dislikes and shares. Only the “home instance” of the creator account knows about all votes, nobody else does, but nevertheless everybody else can now how many likes, dislikes and shares there are.

If we compare that to mastodon the first part of the statement is still true:

Only the “home instance” of the creator account knows about all votes, nobody else does

But that means that most instances just show 0 likes for most of the posts, because your instance only knows about likes originating from your instance…

As for your proposition: I couldn’t follow for some of it. However I think the risk of an actor abusing the creation of fake accounts and fake upvoters is not really a risk, that is what defederation is for… I would argue very much agains a lemmy specific protocol and some judge instances simply because then big instances would just have pretty much all the data again and it would definitely hurt interoperability because lemmy devs can then just take the easier route instead of implementing something according to AP spec
