Mbin support? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I hope this isn't a question that's already been asked to death, in app search for "mbin" isn't all that helpful.

I'm still in the stages of looking for a permanent home here in the fediverse. So far mbin has really caught my eye because it's basically Lemmy+ for all intents and purposes (at least for mine). I'm not all that happy with what looks like the only Android app though.

So I was wondering if there were any plans to add mbin functionality to any existing Lemmy apps? Even if I used a Lemmy app solely for the 'Threads' or Lemmy section of mbin, then used the web page or only mbin app for everything else, I would be fine with that.

I tried to see if I could sign in with the app that I'm currently using (Eternity), with the kbin.earth instance and no luck. So obviously the API is just that much different.

Are any devs here thinking of expanding their apps in future? Or is there one I've missed? I've seen more than one app with the description "For Lemmy and the Fediverse", but what exactly is meant by "and the Fediverse" is unclear.

[email protected] in the only app at the moment

Nice to see that you are exploring different options!

Yeah I chose the most populated instance there to create an account and check things out. But the app kind of stopped my exploration dead. It's a little barebones right now for my tastes right now, especially as far as customisation goes. And I'd be spending more time there than in front of my laptop.

Right now I think the only features that I'm really missing here on Lemmy itself are posting to your own profile and multicommunities.

And it would be great if instances like Blåhaj could enforce their own rules regarding things like downvotes properly, so that they could be disabled there for EVERYONE but enabled in places that still allow downvotes (this should go for individual communities too). The current implementation seems a little like an afterthought on the Lemmy devs' part.

Edit: the biggest problem that I can see so far with excluding Blåhaj users from even seeing downvotes is that it gives an incorrect perception of things. If a bigot gets 2 upvotes and 20 downvotes, I'll only see the 2 upvotes.

Yes, there's some progress made on that on [email protected] , another platform you might like to try 😄

Nice, thank you very much! I'll definitely be checking it out. As long as I can access these forums or something similar with decent activity and users, I'll be happy.

Enjoy, they all have their quirks, hopefully you'll find your favorite one soon!

Sorry for going on here but just want to say, reading through all of the features for Piefed I already like what I'm seeing very much. Before I've even tried an account. The approach and philosophy towards moderation in particular makes me confident that I wouldn't be instance hopping much there based on those sorts of disagreements.
