Admin of kbin.earth, creator of Interstellar.
Hey, I didn’t come up with it. You could ask @originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com though.
When you filter the servers to open registration and up-to-date/not-abandoned, there’s actually a really limited selection of Mbin servers left (5 total). So I don’t think decentralization matters to much in this case. Those servers include: fedia.io, kbin.earth, kbin.melroy.org, moist.catsweat.com, and thebrainbin.org. There’s also gehirneimer.de for German language.
You can see the full list here: joinmbin.org/servers
I’m the one who made the website. Do you think if we just brightened the outlines around the ui elements that that would help with the contrast?
To me, it looks fine, but if changing something made it better for other people, I’m all for it.
This is not true, as of 4 months ago. kbin.earth is running Mbin now.
Not sure I understand your question, but Interstellar is built with Flutter, and currently supports Android and Linux (x86_64) via Google Play, F-Droid, and Flathub. And yes, it’s both Lemmy and Mbin.
I’ve looked into it before, and Apple developer accounts cost $100 every year, which I am not willing to pay out of pocket. If someone decided they wanted to donate that amount every year, then I would probably reconsider. I also don’t have any Apple hardware, so I would need additional help in that regard; I could emulate macOS (which is a pain though), but I would need someone to actually test on a real iPhone.
Wow, this gained a lot more traction than the original post.
Honey mustard
Happy cake day :)
I’ve said before that I could add piefed support to Interstellar (it already had Lemmy and mbin support). The only thing I need is an api.
That’s actually a great idea! I guess I have no choice but to steal it, so here’s the issue for Interstellar.
Yes, the Lemmy icon is between the arrows.
Thanks, but we actually do support username and community links/mentions.
Thanks for the testing! I’m the dev of Interstellar and looked through the list to try to see what I need to improve, but I believe everything you mentioned in the post already renders correctly. Would you be able to give the specific results you found (on what doesn’t work) from your testing?
For reference, I viewed the Lemmy Markdown Formatting Guide you linked, and everything seemed to be working fine on the app.
How was your experience with the Starlite 5? I’ve been looking for a Linux tablet recently and came across this device. I’m just wondering how well it works compared to a normal tablet. I’ve heard it’s underpowered compared to most tablets that price.
Hey, thanks for linking that. I actually made that from scratch within the past month. It has dedicated Servers, Apps, and Releases pages, and also a home screen for info about Mbin. The home page needs a lot of work though, so if anyone here is good at UI design and would like to help, feel free to comment.
I don’t think there is a way to donate (monetarily) directly to Mbin, at least not at the moment.
The second best thing might would be to donate to server admins, which a lot of them actually are Mbin developers anyway.
That’s correct. When we know of more apps, they’ll be added here: joinmbin.org/apps.
Looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it out.
If there are any specific features you feel are missing, feel free to reach out. We are always looking to improve. (I’m the developer btw.)
Even now, we have several major features queued for the next update and are in the process of a much needed ui overhaul.
