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
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.
The only thing Reddit still has is certain very active niche communities, but we do great on the more general stuff.
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.
What interface is this? Looks interesting.
im running an mbin instance
What are the differences between Lemmy and Mbin?
Totally different implementations of activitypub servers, for one thing.
Kbin/mbin were also designed to try to support both interfacing with micro blogging (as in Mastodon and a few others) and with Threads (as in Lemmy and a couple others).
It’s pretty good overall, and I started on kbin, but I’ve found myself using Lemmy instead for a while, mostly because of better clients on mobile. And a handful of technical/design issues on kbin that were annoying me (although some have been improved since)
Mbin is a close fork of Kbin.

i wish Lemmy would do same
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
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.
