on The "Tags" field in Mbin · c/AskMbin · 3 pts · 28d

The field is for hashtags. If you're fine with them appearing in the text you can also ignore the field and just add the hashtags in your text

There is nothing wrong with kbin.earth. Email providers marking mails as spam is not an indicator about the instance whatsoever... The instance is actually hosted by the developer of Interstellar.

Mbin does not currently offer instance migration. It is a long awaited feature, but there are just other things blocking it currently. But even if instance migration was a feature like it is on Mastodon for example, you'd probably still leave your data behind. The thing that is being migrated is mostly your identity and your followers (in Mastodons case).

If you want to be sure that there is no data left behind, just delete your account, that way everything you posted is being deleted from the server.

on are web apps worth it? · c/AskMbin · 2 pts · 1y

I use one for mbin and I think the main benefit is the separation from the browser. No distracting tabs, you cannot accidentally close the mbin tab, etc.

Yes they are, but you have my profile on your server and you do not need to leave the server to view my profile... @ user @ lemmy.instance should link to https:// mbin.instance/u/@user@lemmy.instance and not to https:// lemmy.instance/u/user

Actually that behaviour is very annoying to other platforms. Mbin for example can only link to the lemmy server this user is on and no longer the local profile of that user. Example: @ user @ lemmy.instance gets converted to [@ user @ lemmy.instance](https:// lemmy.instance/u/user so on mbin this does not open the profile of the user on the local server, but instead links the lemmy instance, so you leave your instance to view the profile.

(spaces included so this won't get converted to mentions, etc)

Well I did set one up today and the mails land in the spam folder for GMX, GMail and Microsoft (@live.de), although I set up SPF, rDNS, and DKIM. I have to take a look at how to setup DMARC, beacause my domain hoster doesn't allow free configuration of the TXT entries, you have to use templates and there isn't one for DMARC
