Well, not to shit on the idea too much, but right now as of posting, looking at ~100 posts in the feed and the majority are bots, automated posts, or otherwise "brand" posts, not just regular people, and a few are Threads users or bridged Bluesky/Xitter accounts.
That's getting close to the 5k character limit, but you get the idea. This has actually negatively influenced my opinion on fediverse activity. I didn't realize that such a high share of the activity wasn't actually just "normal users".
I would sort of consider web as the other one, since kbin (and now mbin) were designed to play nice with mobile browsers, I use mbin on my phone via PWA and I'm pretty happy with it, aside from mbin UI issues which I keep kicking around the idea of fixing but have been lazy about it.
to anyone looking for somewhere other than Lemmy I'd like to suggest mbin. I'll admit it's not perfect (especially on mobile, interstellar is decent but it's the only app and has some bugs) but it handles reddit-style content pretty much the same as Lemmy except for the lack of read-marking on posts. as a bonus, it handles microblogs so you can see those without an account on mastodon or something similar.
I ran a kbin instance, which kbin forked, and man it was so resource heavy compared to lemmy. Quite expensive to run at scale. Has mbin fork helped with that?
What bugs/issues does Interstellar have that you would like to see fixed? I'm Interstellar's developer btw. I tried to get the majority of the know bugs fixed in the last big update. If there's anything specific you're running into, I can try to focus on that.
