One last thing: how do I add stuff like whether the community is 18+? And I categorized a Reddit subreddit but the corresponding Fediverse community remains uncategorized. How do I fix that?

You might want to put where we can communicate with you somewhere. I was looking around on the site for a Contact Me form and did a few searches to find the source code online so I could make an issue (think "site:github.com fediverser") and didn't find you. I'm lucky you were here today.

I also found that when I am trying to add a recommended Fediverse alternative to a subreddit, the heading says "Recommended Subreddit" and not "Recommended Community".

Curious if I have to add a community to the database in the first place before I can make it a Recommended ~~Subreddit~~ Community, or if it'll be added if I paste the link into Recommended Community first without any other action (I noticed both adding a community to the database and pasting the link in Recommended Community make me grab the full URL so I was curious).

You may also want to make the Subreddit field case-insensitive in case of duplicate additions. I unknowingly added a dupe subreddit because the version already there was the subreddit name in full lowercase instead of with the first letter capitalized like I saw it in the Reddit URL and the sub sidebar.

I'll be honest, I never thought you were a troll. But people might think you are because you seem to a lot of trouble finding information on your own without asking another human for help, while being quite active here, and your comments are always short, from what I've seen of them. Disclaimer: I never stalked your profile to see everything, but I do see you around a lot just by naturally using the Fediverse.

The content/users aren't here so I'm stubbornly trying to post content and comment whenever I can.

Even if I shout into the void, or get a few upvotes and little other engagement.

Although I understand it's not for everyone, I encourage you to help out with that ;-;

Started !citiesskylines@lemmy.ml, still playing Stardew Valley (I went up 100 hours in about a month!), and still slowly progressing on My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom -Pirates of the Disturbance- as I yell about on the !otomegames@kbin.run weekly threads. I have also been trying various !incremental_games@incremental.social, including a billion bananas and Squareixion.

For transparency, just a subscriber on most of those communities, but I do mod !otomegames@kbin.run.

How/where did you learn PHP? I've been thinking of learning to try to contribute to Mbin.

I also know very little about networking.

Part of what makes me nervous about issue creation is if I'll get asked for examples of the issue, because I don't want my GitHub linked back to my Fediverse account.

I really should just go make another GitHub account so I can do this worry-free!

Hey, I remember your name from kbin.social and I have not seen you in awhile, nice to see you're still up and kicking on the Fediverse.

I just lucked out. As soon as I figured out what I was doing I wanted off of the flagship instance to help with decentralization, went to kbin.cafe whose admin abandoned it so I went to kbin.run, and kbin.run happened to make the switch to Mbin.

I have seen a few people with both Mbin and Mastodon accounts. From what I have seen so far, Mbin can post to Mastodon and see some Mastodon posts, but it is… rough. Link posts not sending the body out, for one. Making a Mastodon post from Mbin goes correctly without a title and displays like a microblog on Mbin and Mastodon, but on Lemmy it makes a whole new thread for that microblog with the first few words as title. Until Mbin integration with Mastodon improves (and Lemmy integration with Mastodon too, because Mbin federates out to Lemmy too) I can see getting yourself a separate Mastodon account to talk with the much higher number of people there as well.

Aww thanks :)
