Basically, It would be nice to point out what those platforms are & what are their “Killer Features”
tl;dr:
Lemmy for apps (shit moderation tools)
Piefed for fast development rate, responsive dev and great features (no apps at all)
Mbin for keeping your forum and microblog account in one place (really awkward to use)
Can’t go wrong with any.
Thunder is being forked for piefed. Once this happens I’ll move to piefed full time. In the mean time we should think of a better band and logo for piefed which the creator said he’s open to changing
I heard of that, but I also like to use a third party web client like photon or tesseract too. Piefed is still new so it doesn’t have the same level of support as Lemmy does. Thunder being ported is a huge step imo and a path for more apps and clients being created or ported to it.
Looking forward to it!!
You can’t use Lemmy apps with piefed? I thought the API was the same?
No, that’s sublinks which isn’t finished yet.
Mbin has better support for microblogs and Mastodon federation than Lemmy. I also prefer the default front-end of Mbin to Lemmy, but Lemmy has better alternative frontends and apps. I think it’s great to support Mbin as well.
If I am being honest, Mbin/Kbin’s concept is much better than Lemmy. I like how you can microblog and just use it like a normal forum, which means you can interact with even more people since microblogs (from Mastodon, for example) don’t really federate with Lemmy.
I wish there were more Mbin apps
I use Lemmy because there’s a good ad free app (jerboa)
Yeah jeroboa is awesome! They did great work.
Good? Hah
(Written in jerboa, constantly fighting with the keyboard bugs the devs refuse to fix)
Piefed/mbin both have better fediverse integration with other platforms. Lemmy has the numbers and is super fast + apps.
Mbin has microblogg and thread support, so you can post and respond to both formats, piefed and mbin both have the goal of letting instance owners or ppl make topics that contain multiple communities to make it easier to sub to similar topics, like subbing to linux topic for linux, linuxmemes, etc. instead of subbing one by one and finding communities whos name may not fit what they are
Right now lemmy has better app support, eventually Id love to see just one client/app that supports threads, microblogging, etc. with feeds, you kinda have to build your feed brick by birck with friendica, streams, hubzilla, etc. but they connect them all no apps tho

I can’t emphasize enough how bad Lemmy’s moderation tools are. It’s not just that they’re abysmally anemic (including that you can’t perform moderator actions on someone in your community without a comment of theirs to click the context menu on? what??). It’s not just that reports don’t synchronize correctly across instances (i.e. if you want to moderate a community on another instance, you’re at a severe disadvantage). It’s that they’re wildly fragmented, presented just all over the place like some kind of scavenger hunt.

You’re on LW, newer versions of Lemmy are better in that regard.
tesseract.dubvee.org is a better frontend for moderation. Allows you to see votes as a mod, and ban users who never commented or posted.
There’s an orange “modlog” button in the sidebar of every community that shows the community modlog?

Apollo was also better at moderating Reddit than whatever Reddit could put out so you could say Voyager goes above and beyond at cloning Apollo.

This but unironically. I could never get over it with Kbin and still can’t with Mbin. It’s a bad name for a community/sub and I’ll die on that hill. You can never get me to call a meme shitpost an “article” in a “magazine”.
