This is not the place to start flamewars between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed.

Mbin carries onwards, but with only <1k active users world-wide one wonders for how much longer.

I think you're failing to see the potential. We promoted Lemmy for a while, now for novelty we're promoting Piefed. Once that gets played out, we can promote Mbin. After that, we can cycle back to Lemmy and so on ad infinitum!

    True... but there is also nodeBB, flarum, there used to be Kbin, at one point there was going to be Sublinks (flarum is similar, except it definitely will exist, but maybe not be federated so quickly), and so on. There is likewise Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed, Loops, and so many other implementations of the ActivityPub Protocol - and while "Fediverse" conjures up connotations of Mastodon as its flagship hence microblogging, that experience does not seem to describe our shit- and meme- posting spaces here.

    And that doesn't begin to get into the variety of methods of access, like will a Voyager user care if they are connecting to an underlying Lemmy or PieFed (or perhaps in the future Mbin or nodeBB or something else)? Or Thunder, Blorp, Interstellar, Summit, etc.?

    So it might be awhile before we can reenter the cycle again, especially if new members keep joining even as we try! :-D
