Deploy Mbin in one click installation.
Self-hosted federated link aggregator and discussion platform built on ActivityPub — a community-driven fork of Kbin.
What you can build with Mbin
Mbin is an open-source, federated content aggregator that combines link sharing, threaded discussions, voting, and microblogging on a single platform. As a community-maintained fork of Kbin, it speaks ActivityPub natively, so your instance interoperates with Lemmy, Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, and the broader fediverse without bridges or extra plumbing.
Running Mbin on your own VPS gives you a self-governed corner of the fediverse where you set the rules, moderate the magazines, and keep every post and vote in a database you own. There is no central company, no advertising, no algorithmic feed reshuffling timelines, and no platform terms that can change without notice.
Key features of Mbin
ActivityPub federation
Native ActivityPub support connects your instance with Lemmy, Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, and every other compatible fediverse server.
Magazines and threads
Organize content into topic-based magazines with Reddit-style threaded comments, voting, and a familiar link aggregator experience.
Built-in microblogging
Post short updates alongside long-form threads and have both reach the same federated audience from one account.
Moderation and federation controls
Per-magazine moderators, instance-wide admin tools, and federation allow or block lists let you shape the community you want to host.
OAuth and REST API
First-class OAuth 2.0 server and documented REST API power third-party mobile clients, bots, and integrations.
Open source and community-led
AGPL-licensed and maintained by an active community of contributors after forking from Kbin — no single-vendor dependency.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
