Mbin merging the world of threaded discussion and microblogging makes a lot of sense to me, but on the latest FiresideFedi Jerry mentioned that it was the most challenging thing to host and hinted that it was still very much in development. Wondering what peoples experiences have been trying to get it up and running? What’s the stability and resource usage been like? Also it seems the developers of Mbin don’t have their own general instance, which is concerning to me because that helps a project monitor stability and optimize resource usage.
Thank you so much for these great details. Happy to hear the devs are actually behind a range of servers.
What has their development cycle been like and the rate which they implement changes? I’ve been using it for a couple of days and have been impressed with some things, I wasn’t expecting the UI to be as polished, but then I’ve been wondering about the rate which features have been added or issues fixed?
I’ll say within the past few months there hasn’t been as much activity as there usually has been, so there’s not like a lot of new features coming in like there is for PieFed. Part of that is likely due to the fact that Mbin’s low on devs ATM, especially since one of the previous devs went AWOL. Still, I’ll say Mbin is already quite polished and works well, even if the dev team isn’t as active as they once were.
