Why isn't Mbin more popular? (fedia.io)

It has an excellent web layout/app (Interstellar) and has Mastodon baked in along with Lemmy. It's a very elegant catch all piece of fediverse software.

The mobile app for mbin is a browser

That's not correct, it does have an app (Interstellar).

Not official, but neither are all the Lemmy apps.

Well theres your problem lmao

[–] subignition@piefed.social 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

No idea why people see that as a problem. It works fine on mobile web.

Web browsers are the most resource intensive apps these days. Dedicated app doesn’t have to run JavaScript or ask for UI elements over network so it’s better for both battery and bandwidth.

Accessing mbin as a firefox PWA is a nice way to use it outside of your main browser on mobile.
