how loud the Discuit advocates were at the time

Yes, kind of funny how things turned oud

mbin technically just adds to Lemmy

Indeed, same for Piefed

George Clooney doesn’t ring any bell

George Clooney is a smug bastard

That’s oddly specific

Is 60 stories for your Subscribed or Local feed?

Imagine what it would be with 245 weekly active users

It is one of the alternatives to Reddit which emerged at the same time as Lemmy (the other one being Tildes, mentioned at the end of the post)

The message conveyed is that federation was indeed a better solution, looking at the difference in number of Discuit vs Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed

Does it support threads? That’s the feature that is usually missing in XMPP clients

Below the sentence you quoted

However, this does not necessarily mean federation is off the table, possible avenues are:

Implement our own federation protocol
Implement a promising up and coming federation protocol, polyproto
Implement the Matrix protocol (unlikely, obtuse and unstable)

• Implement the XMPP protocol (battle-tested and stable)

Do you use it?

That’s why I said “would”

Revolt with federation (they are hinting XMPP) would be very nice

There are probably a lot of lurkers who don’t vote or comment, but there is no way to know their numbers

Thank you for writing this article!

Definitely. The Mbin way of having the two types of content accessible but separate seems a bit better at least.

Thanks, shared to [email protected]

Sad to hear 🙁

Yes, this community has a quite wide audience

Maybe more fit for [email protected] or [email protected] rather than here?

It’s also a place for regular posters, or even just people interesting in discussing how to make Lemmy grow, regardless of their posting profile
