I'm struggling to see how the UI is better in mbin. Maybe I just use the site differently, I also don't care about mastodon/ following users.

Pretty clear cut for me personally. I don't really use the micro blogging feature either.
So mbin compact view looks better on desktop browser, but Lemmy looks better on mobile browser.
Here is Lemmy auto expand content on mobile and desktop:
I personally don't use mobile sites, but the only plus for Lemmy seems to be the thumbnail size. Aside from that they seem both kinda meh. There's plenty of apps for Lemmy though. Mbin only has Interstellar right now, but the Eternity devs said they at least plan to add mbin support in the future, which is what I used on Reddit back then too (Infinity).
