Welcome!
Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.
And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🤟😁

I'm more than willing to pay money for supporting a service. But with that money comes expectations. If I am giving 20$ a year I expect things to work if it's free im pretty ok with something being broken for a bit.
Also if im paying money it would have to be split between my instance and lemmy developers.
Aren't the Lemmy devs assholes or something? I don't think I've ever heard anything good about them.
I frequently criticize their attitudes yet at the same time I also appreciate so much that they have released the Lemmy sourcecode as FOSS. I highly respect that decision - so much so that I tend to think of them as (extremely) difficult friends/allies rather than some kind of opposition
They both simultaneously hold back the wider adoption of the Threadiverse among a more mainstream audience (who enjoys being explicitly made fun of? yet Lemmy.ml makes fun of Western culture all the time, on top of / in addition to their disdain for capitalism), even while having helped the portion of our shared cause SO MUCH by having created a truly viable Reddit alternative. It isn't perfect, but it's damn fine and I enjoy it, and therefore props to them. Legit I wish I could say that more often too, without doing so bringing out all the trolls.
Bc fuck spez, that's why!:-P
The topic regularly brought up is their political stance https://github.com/dessalines/essays
Personally I think Lemmy is still the most advanced of the 3 platforms. Mbin and Piefed are catching up, but there aren't there yet
Why are they the most advanced ? Lemmy lacks lot features compared to mbin and piefed. For example the mod board is minimalistic.
As an Mbin user: what are you referring to with "comments view"? I assume that's not the comments page of threads (because both have that).
On lemmy, we have two view : post view/ comment view.
If you want to get the latest comment on your instance, you click on comment view. So you can join the lastest discussion. Here is an example :
https://jlai.lu/?dataType=Comment&listingType=Local&sort=New
Comment view turn your timeline into a live chat, as mastodon.
Oh, Mbin does have that for domain pages, so it shouldn't be too hard to implement a general one for Mbin. I think rather than it being a feature Mbin is "behind" on, it's probably more that it doesn't fit the vision of the devs and is deliberately kept out.
@Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com
That could be it. I mostly use it to keep an eye on older threads, not sure how popular of a use case that is
To be honnest, i don't share their political view, nor the way they manage their instance and deny some history's fact.
And, i would like that we avoid critizing lemmy devs in this community. Have you tried mbin and piefed ? If so whats your opinion ? :)
