This graphic is almost two years old, is it still up to date?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 months ago (4 children)

not really. kbin is kinda dead. long live mbin

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

does mbin have an app for ios/android yet?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I had never heard of mbin. I see it's a fork of kbin. What does it do differently?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

its in active development, for starters.

the point of mbin wasnt originally differentiation of any kind, it was that the lone kbin dev did not share duties, or actually develop on a normal timeframe. this behavior kept kbin from flourishing and implementing all kinds of suggested, developed PRs.

it was forked to mbin as a community project where anyone who wants to contribute basically can by committee instead lone stewardship. you would need to check the repo for all the changes per version... but the best part is, its an active dev group.

Seems like it's time to make an updated depiction

@[email protected] Yep, I wonder who's the author of it, maybe they can update it

mbin is everything I wanted kbin (and lemmy) to be.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

What does mbin have that Lemmy does not? Should I switch to mbin?

What does mbin have that Lemmy does not?

IMHO much better integration with the rest of the Fediverse, it supports note type activity (posts without a title, thus supporting most of the Fediverse), it supports adding tags (#hashtags) to threads, it also supports boosting posts and a few more things like that

There will also be PeerTube support soon

If you're happy with Lemmy then don't.
This is mostly a mix of personal preferences and neat little differences I enjoy, plus I like the local community.

Then again, if you're curious, check it.
