Being a slow peep, & also not previously paying any attention to #kbin / #mbin til last week, i then "discovered"
Fedia.io[having no idea at all it was another of your babies]. As i read thru the various admin info for users pages, i thought "hey, this all seems quite familiar, has someone copied Jerry's words from `infosec.exchange'?" Then, soon after, i realised my ignorance. I've not yet tried to sign up coz i still dunno if i "need" it, alongside / instead of my existing #Friendica & Masto accounts, but clearly based on your post here, if i do later decide to try it, i'll need to remember this new status.Howdy! Mbin (and lemmy) are very different things. It’s sort of like the difference between Twitter and Reddit. You can sort of interact back and forth, but to get the full experience, you have to either be on a lemmy or mbin (or piefed) instance.
@[email protected] Hi again Jerry. I'm still mulling over the "will i, won't i" question, & realised a good way to help me decide conclusively. Having begun belatedly in the fediverse [late 2022] in Masto, then later experimenting with a couple of #Firefish instances, & now #Friendica, the UI advantages of those latter two over Masto is a big thing keeping me in Friendica rather than returning to Masto. Specifically, i do not want to give up the convenience of a UI that gives users iconised options for post formatting, & a preview function.
Does #mbin / #Fedia have that? If no, then i can give up the Fedia idea now. If yes, then i'd like to open an account there pls.
lemmy (running on infosec.pub) does support both post formatting and previews. mbin supports post formatting, but not previews (yet)
@[email protected] Oh goodness, just as i thought i could close this book i suddenly discover the author added another chapter, heehee. T/y... so now i suppose i need to begin researching that new option. 😊
