Aight thanks! This is definitely how I think of them. I don’t code at all or run a community, so most of the differences I am aware of weren’t relevant to me.
Comment on What differentiates Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, and PieFed?

They’re different but compatible pieces of software.
A major difference is that Lemmy doesn’t allow following individual (microblogging) accounts, only communities. The other three allow following both AFAIK.

Is it worth the effort to switch over from Lemmy?

Unless there’s a particular feature you’re after, like following microblogs, or better mod controls…. Meh, it’s all about the same for the end user.
I shifted to PieFed because I like the direction they’re heading, the flexibility/volume of potential contributors Python provides, and to just generally show support for more options in the fediverse.
PieFed features come more quickly but the apps/front ends are slower to adopt them so it’s not all sunshine and rainbows but the basic functions generally work the same no matter where you are.

On Mbin the vote buttons are on the right, which is the primary reason I picked it.
The rest is just momentum.

I’m on Summit for Lemmy and my vote buttons are on the right.
Just a BTW, I have no argument to make.

I don’t believe any have the ability to follow individual microblogging accounts unless I’ve overlooked it. I have a PieFed and a mbin account. Following individual accounts for microblogging sounds like mastadon.
Maybe I don’t understand what microblogging is though, that’s like Twitter/Threads right? If so then Mastadon
