  • One thing I haven’t seen mentioned yet is that Mbin supports custom magazine/community CSS like Old Reddit did. Don’t think it’s federated currently though, so it’s local only. There’s also the ability to follow users and boost (retweet) content, which Lemmy lacks.

    Judging by recent posts by Piefed’s creator, they seem to be planning to add end-to-end encryption and ephemeral content.



  • It comes out as individual lines here on Mbin, so OP does seem to have used line breaks. Weird though that on Lemmy, including OP’s home instance, it doesn’t work.

    Does Lemmy maybe have a thing where line breaks work differently in the editor than the final post/comment? Like, Reddit expects you to put two spaces on the previous line for the line break to count, but it will display a line break in the editor by simply pressing enter. So the post as it looks in the editor isn’t necessarily how the final product will look like. Does Lemmy do something similar maybe?


  • Considering the sub in question is /r/redditalternatives, you posted this in a thread about alternative communities on lemmy, and there’s a reply to your comment which promotes more lemmy (and mbin) instances that isn’t removed… I really really doubt the reason for the ban was you mentioning Lemmy. That would be very inconsistent of the mods, and actually suggest a vendetta against you personally rather than lemmy.

    Did you reply to the message asking what rule you broke? Like the ban message instructs you to? Might have also been an accidential ban.

    It did not violate any community rules. Reddit doesn’t make any sense.

    Sadly, sidebar rules on Old Reddit aren’t real and so can’t be relied upon. There are in fact more than just four rules. There’s nine of them.

    That said, even with the expanded list of rules I can’t find any that might apply. Unless their automoderator is so heavily sensitive to non-civility that the very word “cuss” is seen as bad language. Which I very much doubt. It does mention that linking to websites containing malware leads to an immediate permaban, but I doubt that’s the case here?


  • I know you’re a Piefed developer, so you probably know what’s possible and what’s not better than me. But honestly, the encryption part makes me think you probably want a new protocol designed with that in mind from the start. In my opinion, it’s too destructive for compatibility with other ActivityPub software and instances running older versions of them especially.

    Combating spam despite the simplified account creation will probably require the implementation of something like Reddit’s karma system. Which isn’t a very popular idea I think.

    Regarding the ephemeral content… please don’t. It might sound cool on paper, but it just adds FOMO. We shouldn’t promote doomscrolling and brainrot with the addition of features which require you to quickly scroll through shit to not miss out on posts that disappear after a timer has passed.


  • This episode was a huge disappointment imo.

    Like, I enjoyed most of it, but the resolution was such a letdown. It was so anticlimatic and weak, the author basically just axed the arc and completely invalidated memmeln’s character as explored throughout the episode before reaching that point. She was NOT built up as the type of character who will be swayed by a pretty man to swoon over.
