Today we released Mbin v1.8.0! It has been already 1 month since we released v1.7.4.

This is the v1.8.0 release of Mbin and it is a feature packed one like always ;).

It brings an extensive bookmarking system, signup request support, signup notifications, extended markdown rendering, custom notification settings to set magazines, users, threads and microblogs to default, loud or muted, setting a default sort for the front page and comment lists, a new image delete command for admins and documentation changes.

You also still might want to double check if you are using the latest Nginx configs (v1.8.0 has now additional regex improvements).

I want to thank all the contributors! We can’t do it without you all!

Mbin takes a lot of time to develop, maintain and improve. Created as a successor of /kbin, but still going strong ever since. If you would like to support this work or cover the server costs, please consider donating. Thank you.

Melroy

EDIT: There is a more detailed post here.

    @melroy@mastodon.melroy.org @melroy@kbin.melroy.org following up on the comment i left for you here… i realized i can see an mbin view of that user’s profile via fedia.io, and their links are in fact broken there too.

    do you have any idea how/why this is happening? maybe they’re using some broken client?

    i also noticed that my first comment in this thread has (so far at least) not appeared in fedia.io’s view of it; maybe it won’t make it to your mbin instance either?

    so, i am posting this comment in a reply to a comment from your mastodon account instead, in hopes that it might reach you there.

        It appears to be every single one of their posts and comments, as viewed from both lemmy.ml and fedia.io.

        The links they’re posting all have a valid URL as the text, but the destination of the link is always the relative path “url”.

        For example, if you click lemmy’s view source button (next to the fediverse icon) on this post you’ll see this is in the post body:

        [https://grapheneos.org/](url)

        (so, if you click any of their links from the lemmy.ml view you’ll be taken to https://lemmy.ml/url which is 404.)

          Actually I think it’s not a bug in Mbin, I think it’s user error hehe. It seems that @badwetter@kbin.melroy.org was using the link insert button in the toolbar. But just pasted the link in the text section of the markdown.

          I think the user doesn’t understand markdown format very well.

            I’m simply pasting the URL where the cursor is put automatically. If one is supposed to something otherwise, then IMHO it’s something wrong with the app. Am I missing something? . Otherwise, I’ll paste the URI without using the URL insertion method from the toolbar in the Mbin editor.

              Yes you can indeed paste the URL without using markdown, that will also work fine on both Lemmy, Mastodon and Mbin. However, if you wish to use markdown that is fine as well, but then use the following format:

              [my text here](https://domain-here.com/)

              Allowing you to show a different text for the link, instead of only showing the URL.
