Quick question, I’m looking to make an Mbin account and just wanted to ask if there is any lemmy.ml type of situation to be aware of.

        Big words from someone who posts anonymously, and who never contributed anything positive to the internet.

                You walking away would be a net benefit at this point.

                It’s not that obvious.

                Who would take over Lemmy development? Mbin and Piefed are getting there, but still far from catching up (Piefed has no API so no apps, Mbin only has one app)

                Lemmy is still missing some impactful features which might really make it a 1:1 Reddit alternative

                • multicommunities
                • Post flairs, which could then be filtered

                In a scenario where we are only left with Mbin and Piefed, we would probably have to wait another year to get to where we are now with Lemmy.

                    I’m not suggesting that they should replace Lemmy as the backbone software of the threadiverse.

                    Interesting, because that’s what I could see happening once they catch up. Unfortunately that’s not for now.

                    I expect Sublinks to eventually overtake Lemmy since it’s being designed as a drop-in replacement, in a language better suited to web development than Rust.

                    Sublinks was announced in January 2024. We’re in September, and the 0.1 version still isn’t going to be released any time soon: https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1/views/6

                    I was hopeful for Sublinks as well at the beginning, but it seems like it’s not going to be the one replacement a lot of people were waiting for.

                    At this point in time, I think Piefed has the highest chances at becoming a 1:1 Lemmy alternative. Development has been fast. Maybe in 6 months or a year it can really reach feature parity.

      Wait, when have I ever denied any genocide?

      I’m sorry, that’s hilarious. It’s so odd, so absurd I can’t help but laugh.

      I’ve disagreements of my own, but all I want is to put them aside for a bit because this sentence deserves appreciation.
