@[email protected] The other replies are correct, Microblogging only works on Mbin. The app isn’t even supposed to let you select Microblogging while using Lemmy though, so that actually is a bug.

I just remembered the Mbin GitHub issue about this, so if you (or anybody else) would like to show interest, you could upvote the related feature request.
Actually, the migration tool is now out with the latest update. It is marked as “beta” as there are things that could be improved, but subscription migration does work between Mbin and Lemmy accounts.
This was the answer! After switching categories, I am no longer required to conform to the new policy.
That’s actually a great idea. I just checked, and it looks like a lot of the browsers fall under the Communication category, which should be fine for a Lemmy app also.
Lol, yeah, maybe we should standardize the icons. If I remember correctly, I did look at the thunder app to pick some of the icons, so maybe it’s at least the same between Thunder and Interstellar.
If there’s anything you’d specifically like to work on, just let me know.
I would like an option for this as well, but the problem is that Mbin doesn’t provide an API with both threads and microblogs in one combined feed.
This is correct; there’s no reason Interstellar shouldn’t work with fedia.io. The only reason it’s not working is because of issues on Fedia’s end.
I’m a bit confused then; there should be a loading indicator that displays once the button is pressed, which prevents you from tapping it multiple times. It should look like this now: .
If this isn’t too much work, the next time you have the null check error show up, would you be able to comment back here (or dm me) with exactly what you did, including which post/comment it was you were interacting with?
What bugs/issues does Interstellar have that you would like to see fixed? I’m Interstellar’s developer btw. I tried to get the majority of the know bugs fixed in the last big update. If there’s anything specific you’re running into, I can try to focus on that.
Happy cake day :)
When the OP was initially made, I actually did end up adding clubsall to the defed. list, but I feel like I might have done that prematurely. I took a brief look at the Clubsall website, and I couldn’t really tell that there was anything inherently evil about it. Sure, the usernames and community names don’t display the server they come from, but I feel like that’s more of a frontend/design decision (any Lemmy frontend or app could do the same), and if you hover over the names on desktop (or click on them), you can see the URL still has the instance of the users and communities. Maybe that’s a good idea for a setting that could be added, where the user can toggle whether the username or community domain is displayed or not.
Yes, there are still many improvements to be made, such as a link back to the original user on their instance would be nice, federation support needs to be worked on, and probably much more. And I will admit, the fact that they don’t currently have a developer doesn’t bode well in fixing some of these issues, but I feel like if we are going to block them, we should come up with some definitive reason, and have it defined in our kbin.earth rules list. If we block clubsall for being closed source and having incomplete federation, then we would need to block threads.net as well (for the same reasons). At the moment, neither of those two technically break our rules; if we were to block them, we would need to make a decision as an instance to add another rule.
The clubsall creator already made a comment in the OP stating that the open sourcing and federation issues were being worked on. I know @[email protected] isn’t the developer, but maybe he would have some sort of explanation for the additional subdomains that are being used for federation, which appear to be used to dodge defederation (I haven’t personally experienced this though). I try not to assume the worse in a situation, so I’d like to give Clubsall the benefit of the doubt. However, if it is found that they have evil intentions (such as dodging defederation), then I will definitely reblock the domain.
Yes, more contributors would be great!
Piefed just needs an api, then we can add supoort as app developers.
Yes, Mbin is basically the same.
All you need to do is search the magazine in the global (non-magazine) search field, and then subscribe to it and activity from then on will start federating.
Hey, I didn’t come up with it. You could ask @[email protected] 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.
@[email protected] You’re not supposed to be able to select it with Lemmy. I’ll have to investigate that.
