What are the differences between Lemmy and Mbin?
ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
Kbin
BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de 6 months ago
Nope, that is mbin :)
runswithjedi@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I noticed it said “Moist” at the top left, perhaps it is moist.catsweat.com ?

Lol who upvoted this . Its mbin .
andrew_s@piefed.social 6 months ago
Moist is down at the moment, so - in true Reddit fashion - maybe Lemmy just hugged it to death.

It’s so much better! RIP R word
stembolts@programming.dev 6 months ago
R word is an offensive phrase.
You gotta proxy it by saying “letter after Q word”.

I still miss some features that RES provided.
Especially draging images to resize them is a feature I use all the time
threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
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.
DarkThoughts@fedia.io 6 months ago
That's for Lemmy...
the_post_of_tom_joad@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
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

If only k/mbin federated better - I’d be all over it :(
BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de 6 months ago
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
fishos@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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. 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” from the start.
HARD PASS.
adam@doomscroll.n8e.dev 6 months ago
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.
DarkThoughts@fedia.io 6 months ago
I used kbin for a while and now mbin for quite some time. I primarily use the desktop website but one thing I noticed from when I tested some Lemmy mobile clients is that I saw a lot more different lemmynsfw communities & consequently threads, like a lot more.
What I don't know is if this is just a case of this particular instance, or if it is just more noticeable because of the content. kbin was even worse and barely showed ANY content from that instance, mbin was significantly more when I switched, which surprised me. But if we compare for example (pulled from the instance's frontpage):https://lemmynsfw.com/c/ecchi
https://fedia.io/m/ecchi@lemmynsfw.comWe get a 404 on mbin. You can repeat this for a lot of communities there with the same result. If you search for this or other "invisible" communities in the Magazine search, then they also don't show up there at all:
https://fedia.io/magazines?query=ecchi&fields=names&federation=all&adult=show
If this is the case with other instances then I feel there's potentially a lot of active communities & threads that we aren't even aware of, but also potentially more fringe instances & communities.

article posting = notifications = shitloads if dopamine
(for just lemmy*)
Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.
Shyfer@ttrpg.network 6 months ago
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 the federation issues with Lemmy.
mephiska@kbin.run 6 months ago
I spend most of my time on kbin.run now, one of the mbin forks.
grrgyle@slrpnk.net 6 months ago
I go back and forth depending on my mood but yeah, I find lemmy a bit smoother
simple@lemm.ee 6 months ago
If you like Kbin’s design you may enjoy Alexandrite
DarkThoughts@fedia.io 6 months ago
I found the Lemmy frontends to be all kinda crappy and lacking in options.
Alexandrite for example aligns its content to the far left side of the screen, which is super annoying on a widescreen monitor, which are like almost all desktop monitors nowadays. It also does not show any NSFW / 18+ marked thumbnails, just some hyperlink symbol. Thumbnails are also very small and do not fill out their available space in compact mode like they do on kbin / mbin.

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.
ilinamorato@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.
sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 6 months ago
That’s a good feature for sure.
DarkThoughts@fedia.io 6 months ago
Can be annoying if there's a page that gets updated under the same URL though.

Too bad for Louisiana
Desistance@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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 that they don’t even bother.

Agreed!
Novice_Idiot@lemmy.wtf 6 months ago
Yeah, lemmy has become really good lately. It’s generally better than Reddit these days. I tried it a year ago and it was still quiet here, now I see posts with 2000+ upvotes
pennomi@lemmy.world 6 months ago
The only thing Reddit still has is certain very active niche communities, but we do great on the more general stuff.
kernelle@lemmy.world 6 months ago
As someone who used reddit for 14+ years, this place feels exactly like early Reddit, a place where you actually can converse with anyone and contribute instead of yelling into the void. Realistically we will always have both, but many more will join the verse everytime Reddit has an oopsie.
oce@jlai.lu 6 months ago
The sheer coverage of every subject on Reddit is crazy. Yesterday I was getting infuriated at a stupid plot in the 3 Body Problem, so I ddged it, and of course I found 3 Reddit threads sharing my frustrations. What a shame it has to get enshitified.
Ashtear@lemm.ee 6 months ago
We’re doing our best!
If you’re in a niche community, don’t be afraid to put some content out there. Niche communities are generally so happy to see any conversation. The amount of criticism/downvoting I’ve seen on topics in slow communities has been very low.
HeyJoe@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I agree, I only came here in July after they finally followed through with pulling the plug on 3rd party apps. This place has grown a lot in 1 year. Still needs more communities for the smaller hobbies, plus less memes and political content, and it would be perfect. 99% of everyone I talk with here is super nice and helpful as well.
Rolando@lemmy.world 6 months ago
If we can’t meme, I don’t want to be part of the revolution.

I’m so glad to hear other people with the same opinion! Everywhere I go I see people complaining about the negativity and toxicity here and I’m like… Where? I’ve had nothing but positive interactions. I’m really happy reddit went through the API fiasco because I’m having a better time here than in late stage reddit.
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 6 months ago
It’s not any more toxic than Reddit honestly.
