letting more people help with Kbin development.

Why not getting some help? I know that Ernest already said he has a problem trusting people, but

Why has Ernest insisted on being the only developer to work on this? This creates a potential “single point of failure” situation.

I understand the desire to keep kbin a solo project in order to maintain control over it, but if this is going to see any success in the long term, then there needs to be a team.

come up in almost all threads about KBin’s performance. At the time I just read them as nincompoops being whiners.

In hindsight does remind one a bit of similar social pressure leveled against Lasse Collin, does it not?

Not saying people are trying to backdoor this place or anything. The similarity just seemed worth pointing out.

    Piefed also looks promising.

    That one interoperable with Mastodon like Kbin is?

      It appears focused on being compatible with lemmy, but I haven’t asked the dev what their plans are for mastodon integration.

      They do have an interesting image-viewing mode though, which is pretty cool. :)

        Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !artshare@lemmy.world

      Nope, and it doesn’t seem to be on the agenda either. Kbin/Mbin is still the only platform(s) to try to bridge the two.

        Kbin/Mbin is still the only platform(s) to try to bridge the two.

        Moreover it seems to have better discoverability than mastodon Mastodon. I can type a word or phrase in the search bar on kbin and find “Mastodon” posts whereas I’m stuck viewing whatever is timeline trending on Mastodon proper unless I follow someone or can figure out whatever hashtag person might have affixed to their post.

        Even with kbin being down a good 1/5 of the time it remains the best ActivityPub viewing experience (in my).
