Basically, It would be nice to point out what those platforms are & what are their “Killer Features

For anyone who wants a quick glance at which platform might be suitable

    If I am being honest, Mbin/Kbin’s concept is much better than Lemmy. I like how you can microblog and just use it like a normal forum, which means you can interact with even more people since microblogs (from Mastodon, for example) don’t really federate with Lemmy. I’d like to use Mbin, but there is no real useful android app for it yet (yes I know Interstellar exists, but it isn’t very featureful yet).

    One thing I haven’t seen mentioned yet is that Mbin supports custom magazine/community CSS like Old Reddit did. Don’t think it’s federated currently though, so it’s local only. There’s also the ability to follow users and boost (retweet) content, which Lemmy lacks.

    Judging by recent posts by Piefed’s creator, they seem to be planning to add end-to-end encryption and ephemeral content.

      How does the boosting work? Because I was never a major Twitter user, and on Tumblr, the “retweet”. Option makes things a bit of a disjointed mess because (at least with new Tumblr and the app) it treats each share as a separate post and they aren’t linked properly together. So, say someone responds to a comment you made on the reshare ten reshare ago. You may or may not even be able to access it. You may not even be able to find it.
