  • Create an account on mbin and it’ll allow seeing most of the fediverse. It has a microblog view, a thread view and a combined view. It isn’t picky about which services to connect to. I’m subscribed to peertube channels, people on pixelfed, and browse the threadiverse. It works well.

    Lemmy can’t see mastodon, mastodon seems to have trouble seeing lemmy but can see mbin and piefed, peertube just sees peertube (although comments on peertube can come from all over the fediverse), pixelfed just pixelfed, and so on.

    Someone mentioned nomadic identities and federated identities and I would love either of those. But for now, I recommend mbin.





  • I think it’s hurting them that it says “join the beta”. To me, that means being put on a waitinglist and hoping to be picked. Better wording would’ve been “Join us (in beta)” or simply “join us”. Only now did I click on it and found out that I had to download a raw apk. Which brings me to the next point: it’s only on the iOS App Store. The majority of phone users on the planet (overwhelmingly so) are Android users. Why target the minority first? And why provide the majority with a link to a file that requires extra actions? It should be on the Google Store and on F-Droid first, then the App Store.

    Anyway, I’m not the target audience, nor am I a programmer, so I’m grateful that somebody is putting in the work. Hopefully they can convince enough people to join and get off of closed-source platforms!
