  • Mastodon excels in updates. If a niche is alive on Mastodon, then you will get news from it before Lemmy. Especially in infosec, or (if you are from Europe, especially from Germany or the Netherlands) local news.
    In a way, shitposting is also freer on microblogging, without Threadiverse’s pigeonholing into different magazines/communities

    The discussion may have worse UX. Only selected alternative frontends (like phanpy.social) have got nested threads like here and until recently, replies were delivered only to replier’s follower instances, resulting with users not seeing all the discussion and inconsistent threads between instances.


  • MBin has embraced C4 and has got no single maintainer nor BDfL. It is a fork of /kbin (RIP), whose author (a Pole), Ernest, nobody had a problem with.

    Another Polish creation, Prismo, is technically older than /kbin, or even Lemmy, and strikes back! Prismo is more of a Hacker News/Lobste.rs clone than Reddit one (despite less minimalistic looks), and got rid of magazines/communities, preferring to maintain smaller, topical instances, with hashtags being main tool to filter posts by topic. Prismo’s federation is under work: it works mainly with Mastodon (and maybe other microblogging) and MBin.
