kbin.social did lift off. Maybe even too much for this software at the time?
Comment on Why isn't Mbin more popular?
dudenas@slrpnk.net 3 weeks agoMastodon (and others a la twitter) is actor-centric, where focus is on people.
Lemmy (and others a la reddit) is topic-centric, where focus is on common interests.
These two are very different approaches that I can hardly see mixing well. I thought of “magazines” of mbin as a “nice to have” but unnecessary functionality. Did it actually lift off?

Mastodon also has hashtags and guppe groups, which kind of blur the line

Started to argue with myself: if the concepts of following people and topics did not mix well, how could fb reach a couple bilion users? I myself silently hope for Bonfire to succeed, even after seeing Friendica, Hubzilla and almost forgotten Diaspora. Maybe it just wasnt done rght in FOSS so far?

Reddit was a fusion of old forums and Digg before it nuked itself.
I never cared for Facebook or Twitter style following people, threads in a topic board feels just more natural.
