Hello everyone!

I took a decision a few days back to move AskMbin to fedia.io thanks to registrations opening back up again, but I have now decided against it and we will stick here as the whole point of federation is not to overpopulate one server and centralizing ourselves, yes fedia.io is the biggest server on mbin right now but that shouldn't matter thanks to federation and I've decided to focus on organic growth here moving forward.

Another issue with fedia.io is that due to it being an older server, it has a lot of inactive accounts and inactive mods on inactive subs, thebrainbin being a newer and smaller server in comparison, we can start fresh and not be worried about inactive old accounts and spam with active moderation and administration moving forward.

That being said our subscribers who have joined us so far in our fedia.io server can continue to contribute and take part in our community here thanks to federation!

Sorry for any inconvenience caused, AskMbin and more of my future contributions will happen here on this server.

Is there a good playground magazine? (j4vcdedmiokf56h3ho4t62mlku.srv.us)

Basically I was looking for lemmy and mbin versions of https://piefed.social/c/playground - as I set up my single user instance, it would be good to have a test magazine where I can make test posts and test comments without bothering the users of a real community.

I just watched a video on youtube talking about "Everything Wrong With AirBnB": https://youtu.be/aaodJqJ2o60

I am not that much of a traveler, but the few times I stayed in an AirBnB I had a pretty good time and none of the problems mentioned in this video. How about you?

Im curious if there is a way to have a backup account on another instance or to move to one between kbin and mbin? mainly to auto move susbscriptions and such. I saw a thing for mastadon where you log in on both sides but I can't find an option like that for kbin/mbin
