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.

I started with kbin, but as that project declined the lemmy apps were starting to mature, after I found voyager I was all in on lemmy. I still haven't found a great mobile app for mbin.

The mobile app for mbin is a browser

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

Honestly the biggest issue is that there aren't many choices of frontends. Like for Lemmy some people use Voyager, some use Boost, Jerboa, Connect, Summit... There's a ton of choices. The more choices there are the better your chances of finding one that you love.

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.

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

Not official, but neither are all the Lemmy apps.

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