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.

the interface to all the exact same content, as you point out, is better.

why would i use an incredibly shitty interface that almost requires the use of an app, when i can access 100% of lemmy from mbin?

this whole 'lemmy-centric' view you have of the fediverse is archaic. you need to think bigger.

the whole point of the fediverse is access to all the content from your interface of choice... and youre asking 'why choose the better interface?'

Lemmy-centric, I don't know... I've been using Kbin and Mbin all along. I'm even posting this from fedia.io. But yes, I admit to feeling that the more users a service has, the more attractive it should be. And I was also thinking from a sync POV, as there has been problems before between the services (which doesn't seem to happen now as much luckily).
