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.

Lemmy and Piefed are much more 1:1 reddit replacements. Mbin is it's own thing, which is very high quality, but has less out of the box appeal to someone looking for "fediverse reddit".

Mastodon (and others a la twitter) is actor-centric, where focus is on people.

Lemmy (and others a la reddit) is topic-centric, where focus is on common interests.

These two are very different approaches that I can hardly see mixing well. I thought of "microblogs" of mbin as a "nice to have" but unnecessary functionality. Did it actually lift off?

Started to argue with myself: if the concepts of following people and topics did not mix well, how could fb reach a couple bilion users? I myself silently hope for Bonfire to succeed, even after seeing Friendica, Hubzilla and almost forgotten Diaspora. Maybe it just wasnt done rght in FOSS so far?

Reddit was a fusion of old forums and Digg before it nuked itself.

I never cared for Facebook or Twitter style following people, threads in a topic board feels just more natural.
