Introduction

Mbin is a decentralized content aggregator, voting, discussion, and microblogging platform running on the fediverse. It can communicate with various ActivityPub services, including but not limited to: Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, Pleroma, and PeerTube.

Mbin is a fork and continuation of /kbin, but community-focused. Feel free to chat on Matrix. Pull requests are always welcome.

[!Important] Mbin is focused on what the community wants. Pull requests can be merged by any repo maintainer with merge rights in GitHub. Discussions take place on Matrix then consensus has to be reached by the community.

Unique Features of Mbin for server owners & users alike:

• Tons of GUI improvements
• A lot of enhancements
• Various bug fixes
• Support of all ActivityPub Actor Types (including also "Service" account support; thus support for robot accounts)
• Up-to-date PHP packages and security/vulnerability issues fixed
• Support for application/json Accept request header on all ActivityPub end-points
• Introducing a hosted documentation: docs.joinmbin.org
