Please convince me that I should continue my support or advice what I can do. I'm prepared to do my part, but I can only do so if I can be sure that my support is not going to people who think arbitrary Censorship is alright (needs to be based on objective community rules and not on the political agenda of mods).

I hear Pixelfed is making the rounds.

I think you meant Piefed. Pixelfed exists too, but that is more Instagram-style. Piefed feels pretty similar to Lemmy, just written in Python.

I personally like how Mbin integrates with Mastodon. Or at least the idea. I can't figure out how to search up a specific Mastodon user.

Piefex! Pixelfie! Fedfed! I always get them mixed up!!!! I'm Fedfed up with it! XD

Thanks for the notice.

Also interesting note on mbin, I tend to forget it can do that and it has also a lot of other niceties, but I have experimented very little with mbin. ~~My account sits 3 weeks unused~~

you mean this or do I not understand?

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

But I mean a user that isn't yet loaded (if it works like Lemmy communities or specific comments). For example @zssk_mimoriadne@mastodon.social isn't visible from fedia.io nor kbin.earth.

Unless mastodon.social is defederated from both. I can't try Melroy without logging in.

For example, new communities can be loaded with !community@instance in the search menu, and comments by searching original instance URL (on Lemmy).

Couldn't say as far as fedia or kbin.earth's federation policies, but that user pulls up successfully here.
