well you do you. Every software ever has bugs, its just inevitable

A technical error in the code maybe? I mean you obviously are able to use your account…

There is nothing wrong with kbin.earth. Email providers marking mails as spam is not an indicator about the instance whatsoever… The instance is actually hosted by the developer of Interstellar.

Mbin does not currently offer instance migration. It is a long awaited feature, but there are just other things blocking it currently. But even if instance migration was a feature like it is on Mastodon for example, you’d probably still leave your data behind. The thing that is being migrated is mostly your identity and your followers (in Mastodons case).

If you want to be sure that there is no data left behind, just delete your account, that way everything you posted is being deleted from the server.

Oh that should definitely not be possible… So we’ll fix that as soon as possible. Reporting those messages is also on our radar

@melroy@kbin.melroy.org FYI

I use one for mbin and I think the main benefit is the separation from the browser. No distracting tabs, you cannot accidentally close the mbin tab, etc.

yeah exactly. On mbin it works this way and lemmy inserting the link breaks that. But it does it for communities in the community description sometime as well, though I don’t know if it is just a user “error” or a lemmy error

Yes they are, but you have my profile on your server and you do not need to leave the server to view my profile… @ user @ lemmy.instance should link to https:// mbin.instance/u/@user@lemmy.instance and not to https:// lemmy.instance/u/user

Actually that behaviour is very annoying to other platforms. Mbin for example can only link to the lemmy server this user is on and no longer the local profile of that user. Example: @ user @ lemmy.instance gets converted to [@ user @ lemmy.instance](https:// lemmy.instance/u/user so on mbin this does not open the profile of the user on the local server, but instead links the lemmy instance, so you leave your instance to view the profile.

(spaces included so this won’t get converted to mentions, etc)

Well I did set one up today and the mails land in the spam folder for GMX, GMail and Microsoft (@live.de), although I set up SPF, rDNS, and DKIM. I have to take a look at how to setup DMARC, beacause my domain hoster doesn’t allow free configuration of the TXT entries, you have to use templates and there isn’t one for DMARC

I am using it too and I love it. I only know source tree as a competitor and in comparision it sucks…

You dont have to pay for it, even when using it comercially (unpess they changed that)

I wouldnt say that. however setting uo your own mail server is a lot of work, as you have to abide a lot of “security” rules (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, rDNS). Additionally some hosters reuire you to apply for port 25 to be unblocked (e.g. hetzner)

On my instance I am the owner and moderator of every remote magazine, so basically all of them. I already created an Issue on Coderberg about this: #243 and ernest has an additional issue open #12

yeah I got matrix only for that.
Yeah I am :-)

just FYI there is steamdeck magazine on kbin: @Steamdeck

If you have issues, feel free to @ me. I don’t have a answer for everything, but I know of a couple of common mistakes.
And the matrix chat is relatively active

The main problem is that you have to do a lot learning by doing, because there are not clear instructions…
Other than the setup I’d say there is no clear drawback to hosting it yourself. I guess its even better than hosting something like mastodon yourself, because the content you want to get is already grouped in communities and you don’t have the annoyingly long discovery phase one has when starting a mastodon server

The main problems are the headaches you get while setting it up. Kbin is not in a state where you can just run a script and it works.

I am just happy that I am not there so my popcorn doesn’t burn, but pop as it burns away like twitter is🍿

The rest of the post sounds a lot better trust me. I at first rhought he is only insulting kbin amd lemmy 😅

I’ve spun up a new kbin instance and have no problem pulling magazines from <lemmy.ml> or <kbin.social>
