Mbin performs quite well. I just applied the most recent update which removed mercure and it’s very fast now.

I was probably the most prominent person who runs both and had database issues with k/mbin. I am happy to say that those are well behind me, largely because of the skill and patience of the Mbin team helping me resolve them.

Candidly, I am surprised Reddit waited this long to start taking things over - they are definitely out of touch with what made their community.
