https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin has more active development
Oh, interesting, I hadn't heard of this. I hope this fork is amicable? Ernest has struck me as being a reasonable dev from what I've seen of his public interactions, I'd hate to hear that there's drama afoot.
Delivery is faster, they just released a new version this week. PR review is faster, which helps a lot.
Fedia.io is running it
Are they still calling communities "magazines"?
I think so, that's not that big of a deal, is it?
I find the terminology of Kbin confusing and it's one of the things putting me off it, personally. I don't think referring to a shitposted meme as an "article in a magazine" makes a whole lot of sense, and from an onboarding perspective it seems more intuitive to work with familiar terms like "community" and "post". Especially with the microblogging integration: if you want to make a thread somewhere you have to click "create article" because "create post" will have you make a microblog instead.
From what I remember, the mbin team was indeed discussing it. I don't remember the details, but I think it was aligned with what you are saying.
