  • Kbin.social down again? Are people moving to mbin instances (kbin.run, fedia.io)?

  • Happy cake day, and thank you for your work on Mbin!

  • Kbin.run runs mbin, the name is historical

  • How does Lemmy (Mander in particular) sort "hot" and "active" posts?

    Jump

  • I guess Reddit and similar link aggregators are just much smaller than we all think they are.

  • I was around when a user when the CSAM attacks happened. That was crazy stuff, sorry you admins had to go through it.

  • For self-employed people that varies a lot and developing Lemmy propapbly doesn’t compare to a salaried job at all.

    It's more about opportunity cost. Most of the devs are indeed company employed and don't want to code on their free time. Having a regular salary would encourage an additional full time dev to join.

  • Should be paying them an additional 3.000€ a month?!

    How much do you think a full time Rust developer makes?

  • Just create a post about it

    If you mean about getting it featured on LW, you should ask that to Lemmy.world admins

  • Funding isn't that high, they launched a funding drive in October:

    Before the Reddit migration, our income was almost exclusively made up of generous donations from the NLnet foundation. This funding was based on getting paid for implementing new features, specified in advance.

    We’ve known that this funding could not last indefinitely, and that after several years of funding, NLnet’s resources are better spent getting other projects up and running. Additionally, much of our time is spent on other equally important work: reviewing changes from community contributors, fixing bugs, doing support, and various organizational tasks.

    That is why we are launching our first annual funding drive. The goal is to increase monthly, recurring donations from currently €4.000 to at least €12.000. With this amount @dessalines and @nutomic can each receive a yearly salary of €50.000 which is in line with median developer salaries. It will also allow one additional developer to work fulltime on Lemmy and speed up development.

    I couldn't find the details of the current status of the NLnet funding at the moment, maybe if someone has that number?

    The donation pages shows 3600€ for the both of them: https://join-lemmy.org/donate

  • Interesting, thanks!

  • Kbin.social down again? Are people moving to mbin instances (kbin.run, fedia.io)?

    Jump

  • so I suspect that the activity for Kbin.social is being included in that after all?

    I think so, because https://fedidb.org/software/kbin shows the MAU for kbin.social, and it's 3,843

  • To give perspective on the 48k monthly active users on Lemmy, and the 4.5k on kbin+mbin, Discuit has 6787 registered users

  • I'm really not sure what point you are trying to make.

    Would I have said "Guess they never heard about Gmail and Outlook being federated", would that have been better according to you?

  • IMAP/POP3/SMTP are protocols, ActivityPub is a protocol too.

    Are you pointing to something else?
