I changed kbin.earth from kbin to Mbin, and it's been working great. It definitely helps that Mbin is a fork of kbin.

Hello, this is actually a good place to post. We officially keep track of bugs & features with our GitHub issues, but you can always make requests here as well.
As for the feature itself, I don't see any reason why we couldn't look into adding that option. Honestly, I feel like we need an overhaul in general related to post/comment appearance options. I will add though, this is not the priority ATM, so it will probably be a while.
There is no way to hide NSFW posts client side in the app ATM. The expectation is that your Lemmy/Mbin/PieFed account would be configured with whether you want to allow NSFW posts or not, and the API would reflect that configuration. I guess it's not working correctly on PieFed though.
I agree that jwr1 comes across as a bit passive aggressive here
Man, I really wasn't trying to; I was just trying to have a friendly/helpful tone, which backfired I guess.
Well, a simple DB query gives us the answer.
There are 661 total local users ATM, only 32 of which have 2FA enabled. That gives us a measly 5%.
If you're talking active (monthly) users, there are 161, only 19 of which have 2FA enabled. That turns out to be 11% (of active users).
Either way, it seems like 2FA is not generally used among users 🤷.
Not just this sentence but your whole reply is slightly passive aggressive and you're asking ME to keep a nicer tone?
I am very sorry that I came across that way, I was certainly not trying to sound passive aggressive.
And the reply you gave to both of these are "I'm actually surprised that's happening" and "I'm not really sure what the issue is there".
I only mentioned I was surprised about it just because I've never had any other users report the error to me, that's all. I also haven't encountered either of the two issues myself.
You can't seem to pinpoint on how a specific error pops up
That is true. I run this Mbin instance, but I'm not necessarily an Mbin dev, so I wouldn't say I know the ins and outs of everything.
And you have no right to tell me not to use Mbin
That wasn't what I was trying to say. I was just suggesting that maybe it's not for you, but of course, you can use whatever you want.
Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it. It's likely just a technical issue, like bentigorlich mentioned in your other thread. I'd say as long as you're able to access your account, then you're good to go on that aspect. My only guess as to why the message popped up is due to some sort of delay in the system after you actually verified your account through your email.
Hello @BubblyRomeo! It is true, like @green_copper said, I have a life outside of Mbin, but I have now seen your comments (please try to keep a nicer tone though). I'll try to help you where I can.
Interstellar uses kbin.earth as the default instance, mainly because they were both created by me. But you are most certainly not forced to use kbin.earth with Interstellar, you can add/switch to any Mbin, Lemmy, or PieFed account by going to the settings. And once you have added a different account (and switched to it), you can even remove the default guest kbin.earth account from the app.
As for your kbin.earth issues, are you saying anytime you try to log in, you get an "email not verified" message? I'm actually surprised that's happening just because usually if an account on Mbin is not email verified yet, then it wouldn't even let you make comments or posts yet. And for the 2FA problem, I'm not really sure what the issue is there, I tested it just now and was able to enable 2FA on my own account just fine; is it possible your phone's (or whatever device you have the 2FA app on) clock is slightly off? Which could definitely cause issues for TOTP based 2FA.
You shouldn't have made kbin.earth the default instance when signing up from the Interstellar app if your instance has some serious security issues!
kbin.earth is just an Mbin instance. The only thing I've really customized is the kbin.earth branding. If you think kbin.earth has security issues, then you probably shouldn't use Mbin at all. That said, if you'd like to migrate to a different Mbin instance, Mbin doesn't really have a good way to do that. If you have tons of magazine or user subscriptions, then you could try using Interstellar's account transfer feature, but otherwise, you'll just have to manually copy over your settings to your new account.
It's all good! Honestly, I didn't even learn about the issue from a post in this community, it was actually from a comment in the fediverse community.
I have commented in the Mbin matrix about it, but so far neither Melroy nor bentigorlich has seen it.
Thank you, this is actually already an issue I'm aware of and will try to fix for the next update.

Hello all! I'm jwr1, a web and app developer, and also the admin of kbin.earth.
Me along with @olorin99 are the developers of Interstellar. Intestellar was the first app to adopt PieFed, and additionally already supports Mbin and Lemmy. It's available on Android, Linux, and Windows, and a TestFlight is open for iOS and macOS.
We'd love to have more developers/contributors if anyone here knows Flutter or wants to get into it!
