Repost of a previous thread on !ask@lemm.ee: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/33116369?scrollToComments=true

Just came out of a discussion when someone was arguing that “if everyone here would pay $10-20 per year, the whole platform would be completely different”, but that seemed quite unrealistic to me.

What do you think?

Why are they the most advanced ? Lemmy lacks lot features compared to mbin and piefed. For example the mod board is minimalistic.

functional mobile apps (I know betas are here for Piefed)
cross posting
comments view

Yes the API is coming soon
Crossposting is working but only for links. They told me it is inspired by crossposting on mbin. Honnestly i miss crosspost for video as peertube (but the problem is that peertube ehannel won't get comment)
i also miss a lot comment view :)

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.

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.

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

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 🤟😁
