If there are any specific features you feel are missing, feel free to reach out. We are always looking to improve. (I'm the developer btw.)
Even now, we have several major features queued for the next update and are in the process of a much needed ui overhaul.
Per the [recent request](https://kbin.earth/m/interstellar/t/347803/Translatable) to make Interstellar translatable, I have migrated the majority of the text within Interstellar to use localized strings (I'm still working on the final components though). If anyone would like to help translate Interstellar into their own language, you can do so through the [Hosted Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/interstellar) (which is also where Mbin holds its translations). So far, we've already had one contributor add the majority of the Spanish translations (so big thanks to gallegonovato).
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is OUT NOW! Get it here: [https://epicmickey.thqnordic.com/](https://epicmickey.thqnordic.com/) In a world ravaged by a mysterious villain and his terrifying goons, the fate of its citizens rest in the hands of one. Epic Mickey is back! Unleash the power of the brush on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Unfortunately, no, not at the moment at least. It's something I've thought of before, but since it hasn't had any interest till now, it hasn't been added. I'll make a GitHub issue for it so we can track it. Once it is implemented, I would need help adding translations for different languages though.

@YouCube@fedia.io Sorry I'm late, but yes, I agree, feedback should be given, and it probably shouldn't let you spam that button either. I'll add this to the todo list. Thanks.

Hey, I didn't come up with it. You could ask @originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com though.

When you filter the servers to open registration and up-to-date/not-abandoned, there's actually a really limited selection of Mbin servers left (5 total). So I don't think decentralization matters to much in this case. Those servers include: fedia.io, kbin.earth, kbin.melroy.org, moist.catsweat.com, and thebrainbin.org. There's also gehirneimer.de for German language.
You can see the full list here: joinmbin.org/servers

I'm the one who made the website. Do you think if we just brightened the outlines around the ui elements that that would help with the contrast?
To me, it looks fine, but if changing something made it better for other people, I'm all for it.
Traffic seems to have jumped quite high in the past few days for whatever reason and has caused major slowdowns, so unfortunately, I had to perform another server upgrade. The server's resources were doubled, but the price of the server has more than doubled. Just a few days ago, I received my first sponsorship 🎉, so I just wanted to thank them if they are reading this. If anyone else would like to help pay for server costs, you can use one of the donation links on the [about page](https://kbin.earth/about).

Assuming Cloudflare counts as a CDN, then kbin.earth is also behind one. It's always been behind Cloudflare, but only recently (a few months ago) have I taken advantage of it's caching and security layers.

This is not true, as of 4 months ago. kbin.earth is running Mbin now.

THQ Nordic has released a demo for Epic Mickey Rebrushed that offers gameplay up until the boat ride in the first section of the game. Here's the trailer for the demo on YouTube: [youtu.be/P0xHpwEKPYc](https://youtu.be/P0xHpwEKPYc) As a reminder, the [full game](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1522160/Disney_Epic_Mickey_Rebrushed/) releases in one month, on Sepetember 24th.

Thank you for your kind words. I know there are not a lot of people using kbin.earth, but I do appreciate the little feedback I do receive :)
Out of all the supposedly 90 active users, only one person actually asked about the issues, which makes me think there are actually fewer people using kbin.earth, or maybe they just weren't online while the issue was present 🤷.
So far, since last night (after making a change), I haven't noticed the issue anymore, so it's possible it's actually fixed now. I'll probably give it another day just to make sure though.
I'm sure y'all have noticed, but over the past 2 days or so, kbin.earth has had hours at a time where it would just timeout all network requests (and therefore, not let you connect). I'm not exactly sure what's going on or what's causing this issue, but I am trying different things to hopefully fix it. Please be patient in the meantime.

We could also just hide them (the post & comment numbers) entirely whenever a small screen width is detected. What would y'all prefer?

What exactly do you think is hard? Do you think the post and comment numbers should be removed to give more room for the magazine names? Do you think the tab swiping is overly sensitive? Or is there something else?

I've looked into it before, and Apple developer accounts cost $100 every year, which I am not willing to pay out of pocket. If someone decided they wanted to donate that amount every year, then I would probably reconsider. I also don't have any Apple hardware, so I would need additional help in that regard; I could emulate macOS (which is a pain though), but I would need someone to actually test on a real iPhone.

Nope. Your posts don't federate at all to a server unless at least one person has followed you on that server.
[github.com/jwr1/interstellar/releases/tag/v0.6.0 ](https://github.com/jwr1/interstellar/releases/tag/v0.6.0) I'm going to start with this warning (just so no one misses it), but don't use push notifications if your Mbin server is on v1.7.0, v1.7.1-rc1, or v1.7.1-rc2. More info below. ## Features - Add option to set default feed filter - Create a panel for post links along with a menu for alternative sources. Thanks to [this post](https://dubvee.org/post/1621850) for the idea. - Add a View Source menu button to see a post or comment's markdown. - Add a restricted posting indicator to magazines - Add Open in Browser option to the magazine page - (Mbin only) Add View Moderators option to the magazine page - Add a pinned post indicator - (Mbin only) Add a magazine owner panel for editing title, description, list of mods, and magazine deletion - (Mbin only) Start work on a magazine mod panel with a "Bans" tab - (Mbin only) Implement thread/microblog moderation actions, including pinning, marking NSFW, deleting, and banning - (Mbin only) Add Mbin push notification support with UnifiedPush. This only works if you have a [UnifiedPush distributor](https://unifiedpush.org/users/distributors/) installed on your Android device. Once installed, you just have to click "Register push" on the notifications page for all the accounts you want to receive push notifications for. WARNING: Do not use push notifications if your Mbin server's version is less than v1.7.1-rc3; there is a critical bug present that WILL DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT if you press the unregister button on the affected versions. The affected versions are v1.7.0, v1.7.1-rc1, and v1.7.1-rc2. You can see a list of Mbin servers with their versions here: [joinmbin.org/servers](https://joinmbin.org/servers/). - Add a True Black (AMOLED) toggle in the settings - Use built in themes from the flex_color_scheme package for theme selection. This replaces the current theme selection we used to have with a list of premade themes (35 total). - Set the default default explore sort to newest ## Fixes - Fix Mbin image comments not displaying images - Fix post view image scaling issues - Fix user cover alignment and scaling - Fix thread comment Open Link url - Fix nsfw image blurring reveal - Fix an undocumented notification type causing errors due to missing subject ## Other - Add Interstellar to the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo. It can be viewed here: [apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/one.jwr.interstellar](https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/one.jwr.interstellar). - Remove kbin.run from recommended instances due to shutdown and admin disappearance :(

I think I figured out the issue. Could anyone who's noticed their stuff not federating try to repost and make sure it works correctly?

Thanks; unfortunately, not all of my test comments are federating, which is what I'm trying to figure out.
As the title says, several users have noticed issues with their posts and comments not federating. The pattern seems be that there are issues if you are posting to a Lemmy server that's on v0.19.5 (for example, federation to lemmy.world seems to be working fine, they're only on v0.19.3). Please be patient while we investigate. Additionally, incoming federation seems to be working just fine, so you shouldn't notice a lack of posts or comments or anything like that. Edit: please see my comment about the fix down below
This server is now running Mbin v1.7.0. Let me know if you run into any issues. Here are the user-facing changes listed below (copied from [here](https://gehirneimer.de/m/mbinReleases/t/281787)): - Full federation with PeerTube: threads are created for new uploads, synced likes, dislikes and comments - Direct messages will work across servers now, supporting lemmy instances (mastodon private mentions are not working, yet). We added a button on the profile page of users as well - we completely redesigned the messages view to resemble a chat interface - Pinning and unpinning entries will now federate - We now support push notifications. They can be enabled on the notifications page (`/settings/notifications`). If you do not see a button for enabling push notifications, that usually means that your browser does not support them - New supported languages: Brazilian Portuguese, Danish, Filipino, Galician - Modlog changes: - the instance wide modlog now includes the magazine in which the moderator action occurred - adding and removing a moderator are now shown in the modlog - creating threads on magazines can now be restricted to moderators and we added support for remote magazines that already have this setting enabled - Add a cake day display on the profile page and the user popup - we increased the cookie lifetime, so you do not have to login as regular as before (7 days -> 3 weeks) - you can now hide the related panels via the appearence settings - there are now notifications for reports - created: admins, global mods, magazine mods - approved: reported user - When editing a thread that is posted to a remote magazine hosted on an mbin instance the edit will now correctly federate - We updated the federation page. It now shows federated, defederated and dead instances. It also shows the software and the version of it the instance is running on - When editing your profile or a magazines profile, your changes should be visible on remote instances nearly instantly - we show a leaf icon next to users and magazines which have been active for less than 30 days now - when editing a thread you can now edit all fields - fix the aggressive fetching of the URL field when editing it
This should be the last update of this one-week saga, but I just wanted to let y'all know that the issue has been resolved. The issue itself turned out to be a bunch of bots hammering kbin.earth with requests, causing it to slow down and crash. I've been able to put up security measures to block them, and within the past 24 hours, I have blocked 100,000 requests, which, to put it in perspective, we usually get somewhere around 700,000 requests in a day. This turns out to be a reduction of about 14%. Additionally, I've also upgraded the server during all this, and moved it so only kbin.earth is running on the server (no other services). Just as a general reminder, if you ever notice any issues or anything weird going on, do not hesitate to reach out. Also, since @Oofnik brought this up earlier, I was able to get set up on a few donation sites, so if you'd like to help pay for server costs, you can use one of the sponsor links on the [About page](https://kbin.earth/about). One last thing, I wanted to publicly welcome @aasatru, to the kbin.earth mod team 🎉. Thanks for stepping up :)
Just another update: I am aware that the server has been crashing, even after the upgrade (though, when it works, things are loading faster than they were before at least). I think the main issue is the fact that we're being pounded by bot requests, so I've enabled Cloudflare's AI bot protection (federation requests should still work), and I'll be setting up a log analyzer to look into any other sources of DDOSing, bots, and the like that may be harming server performance. If that doesn't work, I might just need to do another server upgrade. And, as a reminder, our kbin.earth matrix room is available [here](https://matrix.to/#/#kbin.earth:matrix.org).

I just finished the much needed server upgrade! So far, it seems to be running much faster, but let's see how it goes (if you notice any issues at all, please let me know). Just wanted to say thanks to those who stuck around. Additionally, we have a new matrix room, where you can receive real time updates on kbin.earth announcements, ask for support, or just generally chat: [#kbin.earth:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#kbin.earth:matrix.org). Finally, I'm looking for people who want to volunteer as admins (global mods). There's not much to do at the moment, but I think it would be good to have some backup in case I'm ever unavailable. Basically, just making sure everything on here is following the rules outlined on the [About page](https://kbin.earth/about).
I apologize to those experiencing the major slowdown from kbin.earth. Please bear with me as I decide the best route to go for a server upgrade.
Copied from linked post: I'm very happy to announce the release of htmx 2.0. This release ends support for Internet Explorer and tightens up some defaults, but does not change most of the core functionality or the core API of the library. Note that we are not marking 2.0 as [`latest`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/commands/npm-dist-tag#purpose) in NPM because we do not want to force-upgrade users who are relying on non-versioned CDN URLs for htmx. Instead, 1.x will remain `latest` and the 2.0 line will remain `next` until Jan 1, 2025. The website, however, will reference 2.0. ### Major Changes ### * All extensions have been moved out of the core repository to [their own repo](https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx-extensions/) and website: [https://extensions.htmx.org](https://extensions.htmx.org). They are now all versioned individually and can be developed outside of the normal (slow) htmx release cadence. * Most 1.x extensions will work with 2.x, however the SSE extension did have a break and must be upgraded. * The older extensions remain in the `/dist/ext` directory so as to not break the URLs of CDNs like unpkg, but please move to the new extension URLs going forward * We removed the deprecated `hx-sse` and `hx-ws` attributes in favor of the extensions, which were available and recommended in 1.x. * HTTP `DELETE` requests now use parameters, rather than form encoded bodies, for their payload (This is in accordance w/ the spec.) * We now provide specific files in `/dist` for the various JavaScript module styles: * ESM Modules: `/dist/htmx.esm.js` * AMD Modules: `/dist/htmx.amd.js` * CJS Modules: `/dist/htmx.cjs.js` * The `/dist/htmx.js` file continues to be browser-loadable * The `hx-on` attribute, with its special syntax, has been removed in favor of the less-hacky `hx-on:` syntax. ### Minor Changes ### * We made some default changes: * `htmx.config.scrollBehavior` was changed to `'instant'` from `'smooth'` * As mentioned previously, `DELETE` requests now use query parameters, rather than a form-encoded body. This can be reverted by setting `htmx.methodsThatUseUrlParams` to the value `['get']`, * `htmx.config.selfRequestsOnly` now defaults to `true` rather than `false` ### Features ### Not much, really: * The `selectAndSwap()` internal API method was replaced with the public (and much better) [`swap()`](/api/#swap) method * Web Component support has been [improved dramatically](@/examples/web-components.md) * And the biggest feature of this release: [the website](https://htmx.org) now supports dark mode! (Thanks [@pokonski](https://github.com/pokonski)!) A complete upgrade guide can be found here: [htmx 1.x -\> 2.x Migration Guide](@/migration-guide-htmx-1.md) If you require IE compatibility, the [1.x](https://v1.htmx.org) will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future.
