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.

Unfortunately, his account has been suspended, not freezed (which would retain the account - but simply prevent him from using it), so he cannot migrate his followers to another instance.

Also unfortunate, that a pick-your-poison moderation policy choice remains apparently a brand new sentence for any “normie”.

Not at all. Audit log with moderation decisions technically exists, but is visible only to admin and moderator, and contains only actions by local staff.

PieFed zip has removed at least the vote quota (or rather, they made it irrevelant)

Bluesky is harmless to Threadiverse. ATmosphere nas got no Reddit alternative.

No MBin instance is flagship one. Largest 3 of them are:

• made by a Mastodon instance admin (infosec.exchange). (Several other Mastodon admins tried to run a /kbin instance too. All shared the fate of forum.fail, fitting its name :D)
• Spanish, a relative latecomer
• by Interstellar dev.

MBin devs’ instances are smaller

(…) you must now refer to meme shitposts as “articles” in “magazines”

Neither /kbin nor MBin call(ed) image post an “article” And an unpopular opinion: “magazine” fits more as name for sub than “community”. Especially when all content is posted just by one used for own, curiosity, entertainmment or something.

·pond is under development: you can follow its development on Mastodon or something: @pppond@mastodon.social, and join its Matrix chat at #pppapp:matrix.org

Fun fact: its creator made Prismo, which was a federated link aggregator even before Lemmy. Unfortunately, Prismo content never made it to Lemmy as former ceased to exist and latter federated only later.

I’m not sure, though, if all the features are available with Lemmy.

They are on PieFed.

I tried to subscribe to a PeerTube channel on Lemmy, but it looks that it stuck on “Subscribe pending”. However, copy-paste of a video URL works, and I was able to watch and comment the vid using Lemmy.

Check your output as it may be less accurate than your effort.

AI is able to extensively describe a photo, like these published on !pics@lemmy.world , but fails at seeing, what part of it is actually important, or recognising a point of a meme. It will save you many keystrokes, but probably will still need to be manually corrected.
