I also may boost posts I make with alts, but I’m mainly here so that should be rare.

  • From what I looked up in recent years, I don’t think the author’s ever made the comics digital, English releases are scarce, few people over in Norway sell these comics to buyers abroad, and nowadays’ mostly the Christmas specials that the author makes.

    However, I also found a public contact email from the author while I searched, so maybe people could request for more official translations, or at least either a digital release or reprints of old comics.




  • Moderation for starting communities is rarely needed, given the lack of posts. But if ever needed to moderate, first and foremost, don’t jump the gun.

    Also, on rules, if you don’t make any, still at least imo, instance rules and staying on topic would apply.

    And either through those or by making your own, beware those that stretch the definitions of the rules. In such cases, I’d recommend avoiding making new rules unless absolutely needed, else you’d be falling for their engineering.

    And not related to moderation, but you can make a community mention to make it easier to find across the fediverse: !over30@lemmy.world (!over30@lemmy.world)


  • Also integrating microblog features to threads, like following the poster and boosting posts and comments, is great imo. And I can post microblogs to communities without @ the community, which makes the posts cleaner. And can post to Bluesky too through a bridging service for microblogging.

    Also forgot to mention another instance (or rather software), Misskey. That one I like for following people through RSS since it allows the technology for external accounts. But then I set a script for redirecting the Misskey posts to Mbin or Mastodon’s (hardcoded) search links. Mastodon’s also good for RSS, specifically hashtags’ in its case, but needs an ever-growing list of matched links in the redirect script.


  • Mbin I prefer because it integrates decently enough thread posts and microblogs while, unlike alternatived, not being visually bloated or as slow to interact.

    And when it lacks some feature, it’s one of the better and more responsive ones to either emulate or redirect to an instance that supports the given feature, either by Ublock Origin filters, Violentmonkey scripts, etc.












  • In my case, as I’m mainly on Mbin, when I get to host my own instances (life got in the way when I tried…), I’d probably make, besides the new Mbin instance:

    • either a PieFed or RSS Parrot instance for having RSS posts as fediverse posts
    • a Peertube instance for videos / audio (?) / shorts
    • maybe some Lemmy instance and a Mastodon one for tests
    • a NeoDB instance since it’s the most unique type of content not handled by the softwares above

  • Personally, I’d pick Mbin, Friendica or PieFed.

    I can observe two main types of social media style in the fediverse, microblogging-styled (e.g. Twitter-inspired), or group-styled (e.g. Reddit / BBS-inspired).

    The rest’s usually variations of these two, or are interoperable to varying degrees with these main types.

    And Mbin, Friendica and PieFed all explicitly try to integrate groups and microblogging, meaning they’d be the more overarching ones.

    And sure, one solution always means sacrificing another, so alts may still be needed.

    And on Pleroma’s case, it would seem it supports communities but only partially? I wonder if it’s like Mastodon. If so, your feed can become noisy.
