You can subscribe to PeerTube channels, watch and comment their videos on PF

/kbin had (and by extension: Mbin has) got reputation points

Loops if you want to post exclusively vertical videos. PeerTube if you want to post horizontal ones too

Don't worry, this series of tubes is indeed complex

Just like YouTube

Odysee is not federated. Its decentralisation is based on LBRY blockchain.

cosocial.ca Mastodon instance worka like this

For more information: kbin.social itself was compatible both with Lemmy and Mastodon (and similar federated microblogs). You could browse microblogging posts and sort it like Lemmy posts. You could make your own magazine, and (additionally to using it as a comm) you could assign some hashtags to it, which then made toots from Mastodon & co land on your mag based on their tags. /kbin had got Collections of magazines long before PieFed recreated the feature as Feeds.

MBin is de facto a continuation of /kbin software (but without Collections).

However, I am talking specifically about kbin.social not only because it has became larger and more widely federated than any MBin instance to this day. During the late period Ernest (admin and a software creator) was already overwhelmed with scaling issues, firefighting them, refactoring code to prevent these issues, at the same time had some health problems... During these times, doors to register to kbin.social were widely open, the only admin-and-global-mod was Ernest - which meant that he was largely absent, and many official magazines, like m/internet, remained abandoned as well. Spambots ultimately found a way to register to a site, and they massively posted a mass of unpaid advertisements, SEO-optimised articles from South Asia, or something. The community managed eventually to create a TamperMonkey script which hid these spamaccounts (based on regularly updated CSV files AFAIK) from the sight of a user.

These were the times...

You would love late kbin.social
