!dadvice@lemmy.world is there right next to !bellyexpansion@lemmynsfw.com at [9.6, 38.3]. I guess someone is excited about their wives being pregnant. :)

Going to mastodon.social and searching for 5teverin0@pxlmo.com in the search field, I see posts going back to August 21 just fine from there. So it's not clear to me what is not working?
Federation of post is not retroactive - if you search up yourself from another instance you should find your profile, but you might not see your old posts. If you follow yourself, all future posts will be federated.
Thanks for the response! I'm sorry to hear that a core contributor vanished like that. Hopefully (s)he's allright and just needed to delegate time differently. And as long as there's at least two of you who feel somewhat dedicated to the project, even if you cannot always be active, that's great. :)
It reminds me of the old proverb that if you want to go fast, walk alone, if you want to go far, walk together. If Mbin can continue at a sustainable pace, where you're not afraid to take time off when you need it, I have no doubt it can go far. :)
How do you feel about Mbin in that regard? Do you feel like development is in a healthy place, with not too much of a burden on any one person?
I guess similar situations as the one described here could occur, with an inherited code base and all it entails.
Yeah, very fair. I'm lucky enough that the things I use Mastodon for has more or less established communities there.
The federation of comments is a huge headache. Intuitively it makes no sense the way it's solved - if I go to the comment section, I don't want a bunch of it to be randomly hidden from me. It's something that just needs to be solved better, even though we'll always see slightly different things as not all content is equally welcome everywhere.
I'm happy Lemmy works better for you though! I think it might just be a better format for nerd stuff. I like Mastodon for many things, but this is where I go to embrace nerd stuff. Politics here are more insufferable than at the Mastodon instance I'm on though. ;)
Sad, but mostly awful that the project has gone down in such a messy way. That sounds like a tremendous personal load that was completely uncalled for.
Sounds like.. uncomfortable business? :)
More seriously though, couldn't a.gup.pe help with discoverability? Tag a larger group, and the post is automatically forwarded to a lot of servers and shown to a fair share of users.
But yeah, bring on a smaller fedi server for microblogging has obvious drawbacks that people tend to brush over. It does require more effort to become discovered.
Solarized dark looks great!
It's a poster design, not a logo. It doesn't need to be as instantly recognizable. Putting one or three other in the background would make it a lot less visually interesting.
Amazing!
The pace and responsiveness of development in PieFed is unlike anything I've seen before. It's a brilliant platform, thank you so much for developing it!
Thanks! Just checking it out quickly made me discover !films@fedi.video, which seems to be a great repository of public domain feature length movies from the old days. Wonderful! 🍿
I feel like dark theme is often tricky on different monitors - If the font is too heavy it'll look awful, if it's too light it might look bad on low resolution displays. Combined with different colour contrasts on different screens, and it gets really difficult to know what people will end up seeing.
The headline - "MBIN SERVERS" - looks great on my 4K monitor, but slightly less good on a worse one. The same goes for the text stating that "Also view servers on FediDB and Fediverse Observer", but it's not so bad for the white text. The hyperlinks, however, might suffer from a lack of contrast with the background (a slightly too dark blue) combined with very thin text on low resolution monitors.
I guess brighter hyperlinks could also benefit the names of instances.
It's not something I ever noticed myself when using the site, but keeping it in the back of my head while looking at it I can see why some might have some problems with it. :)
