Why use MBin instead of Lemmy? (fedia.io)

I actually started on Kbin.social, but then it got shut down, Kbin died and now fedia.io seems to be the largest one running MBin. I like the interface on MBin and I guess it's good to have a diverse fediverse with different services, but at the same time, why use mbin when everyone congregates on lemmy instances? The local magazines on fedia are for the most part, quite dead, when compared to lemmy collections. In the end I feel like there aren't enough people to go around to support many more services like MBin and Piefed.

They’ve been defederated from lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear for much longer though.

They're not defederated from lemmy.ml

I’m not sure what your point here regarding Beehaw is though.

That they're defederated from lemmy.world, a centrist/mainstream/reddit-like whatever instance, which plenty of others have trouble with too, indicating things aren't as simple as "left instances are trouble".

What right-wing-ish instances are we talking about?

It's apparently historical, so prob 2020 or so.

“Demanding open source users” is a nice way of framing community demands negatively. lol

Well it can cut both ways I think. That open source burn out is real and that open source has attained a strangely consumerist culture is real. If you're not aware you may not be plugged in enough. That of course is no excuse to neglect your community, I'd likely agree with you that the lemmy devs could do significantly better on that front. I think I've even seen them admit as much.
