  • Picture is just JPG. But like I said, it’s the activity pub message which I believe Lemmy can’t handle very well (or at all?). Its using a so called “attachment” attribute to the message. Here Mastodon also supports it: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#properties-used

    Here an example of this:

    {"@context":["https:\/\/www.w3.org\/ns\/activitystreams","https:\/\/kbin.melroy.org\/contexts"],"id":"https:\/\/kbin.melroy.org\/m\/[email protected]\/t\/506689\/-\/comment\/4458544","type":"Note","attributedTo":"https:\/\/kbin.melroy.org\/u\/melroy","inReplyTo":"https:\/\/lemmy.ca\/post\/30865604","to":["https:\/\/www.w3.org\/ns\/activitystreams#Public","https:\/\/lemmy.ca\/u\/otter"],"cc":["https:\/\/lemmy.world\/c\/fediverse","https:\/\/kbin.melroy.org\/u\/melroy\/followers"],"sensitive":false,"content":"\u003Cp\u003EHere is the image.\u003C\/p\u003E\n","mediaType":"text\/html","source":{"content":"Here is the image.","mediaType":"text\/markdown"},"url":"https:\/\/kbin.melroy.org\/m\/[email protected]\/t\/506689\/-\/comment\/4458544","tag":[{"type":"Mention","href":"https:\/\/lemmy.ca\/u\/otter","name":"@[email protected]"}],"published":"2024-10-13T14:36:34+02:00","contentMap":{"en":"\u003Cp\u003EHere is the image.\u003C\/p\u003E\n"},"attachment":[{"type":"Image","mediaType":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/kbin.melroy.org\/media\/12\/4f\/124f315062cb3fd1d8ae68e43c50805c64cf4d0b5ad5935837f9f9a1b55a15df.jpg","name":"Tips \u0026 Tricks to quit twitter","blurhash":"LdQ,2c~CS4-pMd$%R+af$MMyofRj","focalPoint":[0,0],"width":2480,"height":3354}],"image":{"type":"Image","url":"https:\/\/kbin.melroy.org\/media\/12\/4f\/124f315062cb3fd1d8ae68e43c50805c64cf4d0b5ad5935837f9f9a1b55a15df.jpg"}}
    









  • Well… the answer is always yes. But you can mitigate the problem further by not only disable account registration but also check the setting “Force users to login before they can access any content”.

    So in the end, that means that nobody can see any content without logging in. And since you are the only account, only you can see the federated content.



  • yeh I agree, the hyperlinks needs more contrast. And also on the homepage the sub-title “A federated content aggregator, voting, discussion and microblogging platform (By the community, for the community)”, can also have more contrast.

    I also believe the text (especially headings maybe) can use a more bolder text. @[email protected] Try to set font-weight of 400 on the .font-extralight CSS class instead of 200.

    @[email protected] if you want to share your problems in more details, please help us out you can join the issue chat on Matrix if you like. And ideally share some screenshots if that would help to explain the problem. Another approach is to create an issue at GitHub (which does require a GitHub account): https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin-website/issues/new

    Or explain the situation here in this thread in more detail is also possible, but that is up to you.


  • As long as you report the content and act fast if such kind of material is on your site. Also you can disable account registration, so it only you and maybe some friends you know that have an account.

    Last but not least, you can also block domains in Mbin. I blocked some domains I just do not want to federate with!

    NSFW site

    Like lemmynsfw (dot) com.

    And yes you can add that in the admin panel yourself.


  • yes kbin.melroy.org (sorry about the kbin subdomain name, but changing the domain name will cause federation issues…) is indeed from me (Melroy). And since I wasn’t creative the m in Mbin stands indeed for Melroy. Which is my first name. I was also a very active contributor of /kbin on Codeberg before the fork.

    Disclaimer: Anyways, since I’m also developing, I sometimes do test some patches or run the latest greatest bleeding edge version from the main branch. Just saying :). Which might not always be the most stable haha. BUT!! You can you run & test the latest features, that is for sure. Haha.


  • This is indeed all true. Mbin is named after Melroy (I know, I wasn’t creative). And by introducing the C4 spec, I made sure the project isn’t in hands by a single maintainer and multiple people are already and can become full maintainers of the Mbin project. Hence the reason I also describe it as: “By community, for the community”.

    We welcome any developer to join us and help if you would like to contribute (in any way or form you like). You can find us at Matrix chat.


  • Like people already mentioned below, a fork was created after kbin development halted. And the project maintainer was absent but at the same time didn’t delegated the work fully. Hence the creation of the fork: Mbin.

    I wasn’t creative, so the M in Mbin stands for my name: Melroy. xd
