Hello everyone!

I took a decision a few days back to move AskMbin to fedia.io thanks to registrations opening back up again, but I have now decided against it and we will stick here as the whole point of federation is not to overpopulate one server and centralizing ourselves, yes fedia.io is the biggest server on mbin right now but that shouldn't matter thanks to federation and I've decided to focus on organic growth here moving forward.

Another issue with fedia.io is that due to it being an older server, it has a lot of inactive accounts and inactive mods on inactive subs, thebrainbin being a newer and smaller server in comparison, we can start fresh and not be worried about inactive old accounts and spam with active moderation and administration moving forward.

That being said our subscribers who have joined us so far in our fedia.io server can continue to contribute and take part in our community here thanks to federation!

Sorry for any inconvenience caused, AskMbin and more of my future contributions will happen here on this server.

How do I move my account from kbin.earth to another Mbin instance? (kbin.earth)

I want to move my Mbin account from kbin.earth to another instance because I think the security of this instance is compromised. I used Interstellar to try out Mbin and when I tried to sign up in the app it defaulted to kbin.earth when choosing the instance (I think this is due to Interstellar's app developer is fond of this instance. They even have a magazine on this instance!) when I completed my email verification it threw an error which said "email not verified". I was like "What the fuck?! I just entered the code which I got in my mail and completed the email verification and here it is saying email not verified. Somethings janky!". And, to note another point, my email provider flagged the email containing the verification code from kbin.earth as spam! I'm able to normally browse, comment and post on communities and magazines which wouldn't have been the case if my email was really not verified. Anyway I no longer feel safe to be in this instance anymore. When I went to settings on kbin.earth I couldn't find any option for instance migration. Could anyone please help me?
