Lemmy is bigger by a LOT (LIKE A LOT) than mbin and piefed. So don't see how Lemmy is losing the strong grip it already has on this type of fediverse. Heck, google reddit alternatives and Lemmy is also king.
This change on that site was in 2023. It's 2025. So it has not impacted Lemmy's user base.

I ran a kbin instance, which kbin forked, and man it was so resource heavy compared to lemmy. Quite expensive to run at scale. Has mbin fork helped with that?

Nope. Think about it, a blu ray player reads digital data. So you just store that data on a plex server and can directplay it, including passthrough audio for lossless surround or atmost.
Difference is a streamer is concerned with max device support, minimizing bandwidth and supporting users with variable internet rates. Locally, you don't have those constraints.
Most common streamers have plex support for pretty much any video codec. But only the Shield Pro (and another device) supports lossless audio too.
I use a setup like that to make the most of my A95L TV and Denon AVR with 5.1 channels. Just make sure to use an Ethernet cable, cuz blu rays use a lot of data.
