I noticed that not all magazines of federated (Lemmy) instances show up in search. So is there a way to open them anyway in Mbin and trigger fetching of content?
I already tried to open the /m/[email protected] URL directly but it only returns a 404.

I feel like most people just default their way to Lemmy if they've even found their way to the fediverse in the first place. It's too bad Kbin.social went down the way it did, I feel like the bin momentum kinda disappeared after that. How do we get more people to use and host Mbin instances? Is this desirable?

Unfortunately outbound federation - making posts on communities/magazines on other instances is broken. I do not yet know the cause or have an idea on when it will be fixed.

I've been seeing the exact same posts, in the same order, with almost no change in up/downvotes. It's been like this for at least 6 hours.

Did everyone agree to take an internet break and not tell me or is something not working correctly?

Frequently but not always I'll get an error page when I try to upvote or boost. Sometimes repeatedly, sometimes just once then it works fine, sometimes it stops when I reload the page.

Is it something to do with federating upvotes? I got the same thing on kbin but when it happened there i'd often need to re-login to my account.

How to filter some words on mbin? I can see that magazines, people, or domains can be blocked. I just can't find a way to filter/block some words.
Thanks.

Apparently it works for Mbin, but as the only magazine was on kbin.social and no new magazine has been created, I'm wondering about the future of the script. Check it out here: https://github.com/aclist/kbin-kes or https://aclist.github.io/kes/kes_dark.html
