I will add both pictures to the main post as well. Here is the Pie chart for community count:

Oh that would be interesting as well. I will do that. Checking back in 2h :D

Nearly but not exactly :D

You mean the spread of the communities you are subscribed to? If so: probably yes, but not an easy one as you have to have access to the data (or more easily: the database)

Who or what is/was Gab? 😅

My guess is that they just needed to have their own community for a lot of stuff because so many instances are defederated from them. Though I am not sure...

I only know it because it is often mentioned when talking about trolling

And here the diagram by community subscriber count:

That is right. When you do not explicitly tag a magazine from mastodon (or a hashtag that is matched to a magazine) then the post ends up in the random mag

I don't understand your added information about the mastodon post...

That is a very good point 🤔 I just checked the code. Your "subscribed" feed does include the users you follow as well, not just the magazines

The microblog side works the same as mastodon: following people. You cannot follow random from other instances, because it would creates way too much traffic on larger instances. Imho there should be no random magazine. It only exists for things that cannot be assigned a magazine, because it is not possible to post something without a magazine. We inherited that from kbin

+1 for neo launcher

Please have a look at the smaller mbin instances as well. It is not good to have one massive server and a lot of tiny ones. Kbin.social is the best example of it, the second best is lemmy.world which just has issues because of its size...

That is an annoyance of mastodon. AP is not to blame in this case. Mastodon could just treat boosts by group actors differently, but they don't

to interact with it from mbin you gotta pull in the original post, so copy the url from this one and put it in the search bar

Sure thing 😇

It is in the works :)

Yes you see the down votes from othwr instances, but these other instances cannot see your downvotes

Nope. That is not yet possible on mbin. Dislikes are received but not sended. I was holding back on implementing sending dislikes because that can't be configured yet.
