Until I implement a better system to screen out spammers, I will be closing registrations on Fedia.io. That’s not what I want - I’d like for it to be available for legitimate accounts, but the spam is off the hook.

Anyone seeing this can send me an email ([email protected]) and I’ll get an account created for you in the mean time.

@jerry

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] Fair enough. Any "decision" i end up making on this is a low-priority thing, but from my initial looking at your instance the other night, i suspect i'm prolly leaning towards not bothering... not as any slight against your fine work, but simply coz i'm not sure that i like the UI & its tools [compared to Friendica & even Masto]. Also, given that as a lot of my posts, & fav interlocutors' posts, regard #AusPol, my initial keyword search for that #hashtag there were rather underwhelming.

You don't search for hashtags on a content aggregator like this (Lemmy itself didn't even support hashtags until very recently), but for communities / magazines that fit your needs that you subscribe to for a more personalized feed (I'd use external search tools to find communities though, as mbin's magazine search can only find what's already federated) - or just browse /all and let whatever is federated hit you.
