## Introduction
Mbin is a decentralized content aggregator, voting, discussion, and microblogging platform running on the fediverse. It can
communicate with various ActivityPub services, including but not limited to: Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, Pleroma, and PeerTube.
Mbin is a fork and continuation of [/kbin](https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core), but community-focused. Feel free to chat on [Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#mbin:melroy.org). Pull requests are always welcome.
> [!Important]
> Mbin is focused on what the community wants. Pull requests can be merged by any repo maintainer with merge rights in GitHub. Discussions take place on [Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#mbin:melroy.org) then _consensus_ has to be reached by the community.
