not really. kbin is kinda dead. long live mbin
I had never heard of mbin. I see it's a fork of kbin. What does it do differently?
its in active development, for starters.
the point of mbin wasnt originally differentiation of any kind, it was that the lone kbin dev did not share duties, or actually develop on a normal timeframe. this behavior kept kbin from flourishing and implementing all kinds of suggested, developed PRs.
it was forked to mbin as a community project where anyone who wants to contribute basically can by committee instead lone stewardship. you would need to check the repo for all the changes per version... but the best part is, its an active dev group.
mbin is everything I wanted kbin (and lemmy) to be.
What does mbin have that Lemmy does not? Should I switch to mbin?
What does mbin have that Lemmy does not?
IMHO much better integration with the rest of the Fediverse, it supports note type activity (posts without a title, thus supporting most of the Fediverse), it supports adding tags (#hashtags) to threads, it also supports boosting posts and a few more things like that
There will also be PeerTube support soon

I want a MySpace clone. Does that exist as an open source project in the fediverse?
Call it OurSpace
If xmpp and matrix are included, why not include email?
Truly, email is (thankfully) mostly unspoiled as a protocol since it's beginning. Other than minor improvements and additions like HTML and spam filters and the like, anyone can host an email service and interface with anyone else on the Internet with the same protocol.
I've been missing an alternative to Facebook that I can use for non-anonymous planning of events and communication in hobby groups etc. and I had never heard of any of the "Facebook-type" federated stuff before!
Now I just need to convince a bunch of people that this is viable to use without being the annoying guy...
Which of these are the Facebook ones?
Friendica, but it s still ..uh...far from ideal. It is a start, though.
It literally started in 2010, almost six years before Mastodon.
If you're looking for something that is to Facebook what Bluesky is to pre-Musk Twitter, it doesn't exist.
Otherwise, "the Facebook ones" are:
- Friendica (intended to be a Facebook alternative from the very beginning, designed to federate with everything that moves)
- Hubzilla (fork of (a fork of?) Friendica by Friendica's own creator, currently the most powerful piece of server software in the whole Fediverse, basically a federated Swiss army knife that can do Facebook as well)
- the nameless thing in the streams repository (not in this graph, fork of a fork of a fork of a fork... of Hubzilla by Friendica's and Hubzilla's creator, less feature-laden than Hubzilla, but more modern and evolving at a rapid pace, the most advanced piece of server software in the whole Fediverse, but instances are hard to find)
Still no tumblr alt huh?
Wafrn is in early stages but looks promising
