Quick question, I’m looking to make an Mbin account and just wanted to ask if there is any lemmy.ml type of situation to be aware of.

      I’m not suggesting that they should replace Lemmy as the backbone software of the threadiverse.

      Interesting, because that’s what I could see happening once they catch up. Unfortunately that’s not for now.

      I expect Sublinks to eventually overtake Lemmy since it’s being designed as a drop-in replacement, in a language better suited to web development than Rust.

      Sublinks was announced in January 2024. We’re in September, and the 0.1 version still isn’t going to be released any time soon: https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1/views/6

      I was hopeful for Sublinks as well at the beginning, but it seems like it’s not going to be the one replacement a lot of people were waiting for.

      At this point in time, I think Piefed has the highest chances at becoming a 1:1 Lemmy alternative. Development has been fast. Maybe in 6 months or a year it can really reach feature parity.

          Yes, that’s also the big issue: migration.

          While, to be fair, if LW moves to lemmy.world to piefed.world as the main site and keeps LW alive for archiving purposes, it should be okay. Discussions don’t go over for that long anyway.
