This post serves as notice that Lemmy.one will be shutting down in 90 days.

Unfortunately, the moderation features in Lemmy never progressed to the point required to continue maintaining this service, and Lemmy simply does not have the userbase to justify the cost of this service. Myself and the moderation team apologize for the inconvenience this will cause.

This is sad news. Hopefully the comms can migrate to other smaller instances.

Edit: just saw this

as this is a fairly active community we just wanted to let you know that this community is no longer federating with Lemmy.World due to defederation from lemmy.one for lack of moderation.

Our announcement can be found here: https://lemmy.world/post/28173093

We recommend migrating to a community on an instance that is maintained better.

I guess it's been an issue. I think the lemmy.one meant they needed better administration features

I'm a bit bummed as lemmy.one was my introduction to the ecosystem. :(

OTOH, when they were having server problems, I set up a kbin account, but left it when it became clear I could only use the kbin app to access it. Looks like that's shut down now too!

kbin development has halted due to personal issues of the sole dev.

It has since been forked as mbin and seems to be doing well. I too am waiting for stronger app support to truly compare.

I'm excited for both Piefed and MBin. Both projects are progressing rapidly and have communities that seem to have their heads and hearts in the the right places

I'm also watching piefed's development. Flairs are good addition.

I'm a fellow mbin convert myself. When the great exodus happened, I set up a Lemmy instance, but I took a 4 month break from it for reasons I don't recall. When I tried to spin that instance back up it wouldn't pull in new posts and didn't support oidc, but I saw that mbin did, so I switched to that and was pretty happy with its look and feel.

Writing this message on the interstellar app just now. My only minor gripe is that there's no way to mark something as read with a single tap that I've found. (Got to long press and mark as read, but I'll accept that I may have missed something)

I'll give a quick overview: to mark a post as read, you need to either open it, vote on it, boost it, or mark it as read explicitly, which can be done through the overflow menu (long press or tap overflow button, like you said) or by configuring the swipe gestures to have the mark as read action (then all you have to do is swipe on the post). In the next update, we will also have a "mark as read on scroll" option, which, when enabled, will mark all posts in your feed as read once it scrolls off the top of the screen.

mbin is going great. Interstellar is a solid app.

Note that I may be biased.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 17 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I'll add to the bias. I created both a kbin account and a Lemmy.one account when the migration happened. Preferred kbin's look and feel, then changed over to mbin when Ernest started having issues. Haven't looked back, mbin is great.

+1 for the kbin >>mbin pipeline. I like that it still has pwa support since I really don't need a phone app for a text based forum

We are very different people and I respect that.

[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 7 points 15 hours ago

Lol, I think we might be closer than you think. Lemmy and reddit are both basically unusable in web form on mobile, but Ernest took the time to make the layout of kbin in such a way that it compresses down to a PWA/Mobile layout without becoming a complete clusterfuck, something the mbin maintainers have maintained support for and I think is one of the key distinguishing features of the platform. The way it works feels very similar to the old RIF layout, and as such was everything I wanted from a reddit replacement from day one :)
