Ok, have it your way then

You just exude that “ready to provide pets” vibe
Fedia’s been closed to new sign-ups for a minute, but to anybody considering Mbin, have a look at this: https://joinmbin.org/servers/
Either way, a user’s feed will be as much about what things they choose to subscribe to and block, as what things their home instance does. For the most part instances share communities / posts / votes with each other which is the whole “federation” part.
It might be jarring to somebody who is used to just browsing “all.” I’d tell new users it might be a little bit of work to get comfy. That might well involve blocking a handful of toxic users. On the plus side, you don’t get ads and trackers up the ass and it’s small enough yet that you won’t feel like most comments get drowned out by noise.
Well we’d have to be talkin’ about one charming motherfuckin’ pig.

Just in case for those skimming the headline, note the quotes used in it. The author does not claim to know whether or not the company is actually involved in filing these requests, though as he points out, it is plausible.
Someone purporting to be United Healthcare is filing DMCA requests
If it is really the health insurer filing these notices, it wildly oversteps any legal rights the company might have, but if there’s any company willing to preemptively breach the law and dare the other side to spend their limited resources trying to protect their rights it would be a health insurer.
Yeah that’s the Mbin UI in general as opposed to Lemmy’s. Mbin is definitely taking its own approach UI-wise.
Ooh is it his turn?

I believe this is scientifically referred to as temporary borbitude.
Seriously though, trying to understand a detail about how this all works (anyone free to answer). Does each additional user to a smaller instance indirectly help flesh out the available content on that user’s instance?
As in, more total users -> more total community/magazine subs by those users --> more federated content becomes visible to the instance’s newest joiners after that?
Unless I’m misunderstanding how it works. If that’s correct, then the benefit of each additional user would be most visible the fewer the instance’s current users, and then eventually level out as more users join and the most popular remote communities/magazines are subbed by local users.
I mention this because I’ve occasionally browsed other instances during brief outages on my home instance. At those times I noticed that while the default feeds (not logged in) across instances looked mostly the same, some of the smaller ones were missing some fun/interesting magazines that the others were showing.
P.S. I don’t think this was due to defederations but who knows.

Fedia’s been great.
There are a handful of other choices, too: https://joinmbin.org/
Maybe helpful to some people who land on this thread: current list of mbin instances
