(for just lemmy*)
Moist is down at the moment, so - in true Reddit fashion - maybe Lemmy just hugged it to death.
I've always liked Kbin's design and funcionality more than Lemmy, but the latter is more popular and sometimes posts/comments won't load properly on Kbin, so I've stuck with Lemmy for now.
Everyone in this thread is suggesting Mbin, so I might try that. Sounds like it's a fork of Kbin that actually solved a ton of its federation issues with Lemmy.
I spend most of my time on kbin.run now, one of the mbin forks.
Does it have a mobile app? That's the main way I use Lemmy now.
If you like Kbin's design you may enjoy Alexandrite, a frontend for Lemmy
I go back and forth depending on my mood but yeah, I find lemmy a bit smoother
Damn, Louisiana got a whole fleet of orphan crushing machines.
I still miss some features that RES provided.
Especially draging images to resize them is a feature I use all the time
Does your instance have a mlmym interface? If not, you should ask your admins to add it.
It's not the full RES, but it at least gives you the "old reddit" format. Most of the large instances have it, like old.lemmy.world and oldsh.itjust.works.
Good i miss that too. Have you tried something like hoverzoom to fill the gap? That's what i did anyway and it works for all sites not just reddit. It feels like a core browser functionality to me now
Too bad for Louisiana
It really is. But it's the textbook result of Democrats not voting.
17% of registered voters actually voted for Governor and the Landry got in on 11%. It's the same across nearly all disticts which has more registered Democrats than Republicans.
People are so disenfranchised and uninformed that they don't even bother.
More functional how? I'm always interested in how people perceive things and what they look for, after all, it's the people that make places good and so it's important to understand them.
I don't know what OP noticed in particular, but I immediately saw the interface collating other posts with the same URL as super helpful in making the Fediverse feel more contiguous.
That's a good feature for sure.
If only k/mbin federated better - I'd be all over it :(
Did you actually try mbin? Because we fixed a huge number of federation issues kbin had/has. Sure a bunch still need to be worked on, but we do our best and improve it with every release
Is it supported by any app?
Only interstellar afaik
Is that for Android or Apple?
Android it looks like
android
I've not tried it but have been keep tabs.
The two main problems appear to still be ongoing PRs/issues; magazine/community sidebar content doesn't update and doesn't federate out at all to lemmy, and moderation actions don't federate at all (any of the various types) - which is particularly problematic.
Both of which are only relevant for magazines/communities hosted on mbin instances. But yes we still do lack moderation features. I am working on it (as you can see the issue and PR are authored by me), but there is just still a lot to do in various different regions
Not a fan of Melroy(mbin founder). They claim to have been a dev for Lemmy and kbin. Then when they didn't get the control they wanted, started their own instance. When that didn't take off, he ranted very publically once again about how the current team he was "working with" sucked and how he was the only true savior of the fediverse. Then he started mbin, which he named after himself(Melroy Bin).
His entire attitude has been "fuck you, I'm taking my ball and going home if you don't listen to me" from the start.
HARD PASS.
how the current team he was "working with" sucked
Because the maintainer "team" was one person who had health issues and did not commit or merge PRs for months??? What's your problem?
Also, mbin's governance is a constantly shifting group of ten people or so. Their announcement motto was "we'll merge every single PR". How does that align with your dictatorial expectations?
well I am an active mbin contributor and cannot confirm any of that. He never tried to contribute to lemmy as far as I know and trying to contribute to kbin is just a big disappointment (I've been there as well). As for the name, personally I don't care. It is just how it is and nowhere does it say "this is melroys bin" or something like that...
If you don't want to get involved that is fine, but the rumors around him are basically all false...
