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

jointhefediverse.net seems to be a commonly linked resource for directing people to join the Fediverse.

Curiously, it does not list Lemmy under the list of Reddit alternatives. Their GitHub README explains why.

So, I should quit Lemmy now too?

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

massive_bereavement,

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,

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.

unknown1234_5,

the main one I'm still having repeatably right now is that sometimes when I go to post something, especially a comment, the button does not seem to work, so I press it again thinking I missed and it gets posted twice.
I also sometimes have an issue where up/downvoting makes a thing pop up saying "null check operator used on null value". it also happened when trying to unfollow a community from an instance I had recently blocked.

hono4kami,

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

Rhoeri,
@Rhoeri@lemmy.world avatar

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

Blaze,
@Blaze@feddit.org avatar

Switch to Piefed or Mbin?

Rhoeri,
@Rhoeri@lemmy.world avatar

Makes sense to me.

aesthelete,

Yeah watch out for that sotware
