Mbin is becoming the New Zealand of the Threadiverse

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Not even sure I'm mad about it.

I'm on Fedia.io, which If I'm not mistaken is Mbin, was on Kbin before it spun out, and I wouldn't join a "Lemmy" instance if you paid me good hard green American money

and I wouldn’t join a “Lemmy” instance if you paid me good hard green American money

I'm curious to know why

That's fair, that's the power of the Fediverse!

According to https://mbin.fediverse.observer/list, there are only ~1000 people using Mbin total these days, compared to like Lemmy with 43k and Pixelfed with far more.

Also Mbin's primary claim to fame is connecting to both Lemmy and Mastodon, rather than being something on its own.

PieFed (with <200 users) is also overlooked for similar reasons, and Sublinks too (well, that one doesn't even exist yet:-).

Or think of it this way: Mbin gets represented twice by two different icons in the image! :-D

Wow, I didn't realize it was so small!

It's still my favorite though (love you Mbin).

It's such a great project that Ernst started off for us all:-). Now I am excited more by what PieFed and Sublinks will offer in the future, but Mbin too - all 3 are amazing Lemmy alternatives to the Threadiverse, and thus important to have.

Yes, I mean he "started" it, even though he couldn't keep up with it. I hope he is okay - when last I heard he was not.

I don't know but I heard he was having some problems too. Hopefully whatever is going on improves.
