This is so cool

this is why I usually browse in new/comments/all, I just wish it had more than one page at a time or the ability to set more posts in one page

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.

Doing a quick label:

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".

So, I should quit Lemmy now too?

Not at all, just filter out .ml. Problem fixed!

But there's mbin which is clearly the SUPERIOR alternative.

osaerisxero,

I'm a big mbin stan, but it's clearly the inferior software platform right now.

massive_bereavement,

I was mostly joking, I like that there are multiple options amd we can still interact with each other.

Definitely

Having only one mobile app is already a deal breaker for some users

massive_bereavement,

Is that Interstellar, or another one?

Blaze,

I was thinking about Interstellar indeed, is there another one?

osaerisxero,

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.

Wow that change is from June 2023.

unknown1234_5, in jointhefediverse.net - Why was Lemmy removed from the list of fediverse alternatives?

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?

unknown1234_5,

I'm not sure about self-hosting (not feasible for me right now) but as a user it's not bad. I can say I haven't seen anyone complaining about it yet.

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.

I wrote this before

I spotted Dessalines posted literal propaganda on some community I joined

gotta be honest that does not sit well with me

Yep. And note how the other mods/admins are almost always found commenting alongside them.

MudMan, in Friendica is a great fediverse alternative to Facebook

...users can also use Friendica as a publishing platform to post content to Google+, Google Buzz, WordPress, Tumblr, GNU-social, and Libertree.

Well, that's a hell of a pitch. I hope the codebase gets updated more frequently than the blurb.

I made an account there today but haven't really figured out how it works yet.

You will get the hang of it!

Thanks! I'm sure I will, it'll probably just take some time. :)
