I like the honesty of that: billionaire resistant.

Well, their post was about not wanting a (worse) billionaire to buy reddit, musk style.

Are you just PMing random people on Reddit about Lemmy?
-
No. They made a post about how they didn't want reddit to be bought out, because most of the others bowed down to trump

Is the spirit in the room with us right now?
If you are please give us a sign -
You can always just keep your Reddit account it's not that big of a deal

I never deleted my Reddit account precisely because I go in there periodically and find some of my comments became un-deleted, so I have to go back in and scrub them again to try to keep my content off the site.
That, and when I am Googling something and find a relevant thread on Reddit with the answer, I hate being defaulted to New Reddit, where half the comments are also buried and need to be manually opened to read more. Having an account logged in with the Old Reddit toggle is the simplest way around that (though wouldn't surprise me if someone made a browser extension for that).

When I find something I need on reddit, I repost to Lemmy.
We only need a way the content on lemmy won't be destroyed when the instance ends.
-
There is a browser add on for it. I use one called Yesterday for Reddit.
-
theres an extension which automatically views your pages in old reddit. i was forced out of reddit due to thier aggressive ban wave this month.

Is mbin the same as kbin and is it still a thing? I remember hearing about it at the beginning but now everyone is on lemmy or am I missing something?
mbin is a fork of the (now abandoned?) kbin which integrates with Lemmy.
It's pretty much the same as any other Lemmy client unless they added something I don't know about, basically just a front end for the Fediverse.
That's about it. Mbin also provides a direct interface to the microblogging side of the Fediverse. Yes, you can already see posts from Lemmy on Mastodon and vice versa, but there's no way to actually microblog from Lemmy. Mbin has that.
I'm currently on fedia.io which is an Mbin, but the main reason I'm here and not on a Lemmy instance is personal preference. I wasn't keen on the Lemmy / tankie connection, and I liked the kbin/Mbin interface better anyway.
Unfortunately all the high traffic Fediverse groups (communities / magazines / what-have-you) have ended up on Lemmy instances, perhaps in part due to the problems the kbin creator had in his personal life and with the flagship instance, meaning people lacked confidence in spinning up their own instances and went Lemmy instead.
A true VHS versus Betamax moment.
They have microblogging, and some other small features.
Isn't it technically a different backend that's compatible with lemmy's interface?
