Anyone else have both a Lemmy and a *bin account? Is this normal or do I need to like, pick one or something?

    I created also mbin account (on fedia) to try it. I used it mostly as a backup when SJW it down however, over the year, it really improved. My lemmy account is still my main, but at a point in future it may change

      @Ziggurat so you prefer mbin over lemmy ? Wht are your tought about its UI ? What is its difference with kbin? Do hashtag and tag work well there ? @funbreaker

        Hashtags seem not to do anything but group tags work great. I see gup.pe groups all the time in my microblog feed

          @funbreaker @Ziggurat thank for the feedback :)

          I hope they will improve the hashtag because it is very usefull to navigate and discovers new content based on my interest. ​:blob_cheer:​

        Which one I prefer is a good question. On mbin, I like the smoother UI, and the existing Mastodon integration (but not perfect), it seems that old federation problems from kbin are more or less solved.

        Feel like that lemmy is still the default app, has more clients (Alexandrie on Web) and sometimes less delay to federated.

        We’ll see how it evolves in the future.

        Also vous ici :)

          Vous ici ? Do you mean why i’m here ? Or o you want tp invite us on mbin ? 😁

          Thank for the feedback, i might consider mbin if they create a mobile app. For now, i’m waiting for iceshrimp next update in late december 2024. They are rewriting iceshrimp in C and they will support lemmy soon.

          But imho, jlai.lu should ditch lemmy and move toward mbin or piefed/sublinks. I hope there is migration tool. We should talk about it soon.

          Jlai.lu needs the connection with mastodon for increasing their activities and ensure its long term experience.

          We can have both : a live chat (mastodon) or discussion geared toward some topic (lemmy/mbin/piefed…)
