I actually started on Kbin.social, but then it got shut down, Kbin died and now fedia.io seems to be the largest one running MBin. I like the interface on MBin and I guess it’s good to have a diverse fediverse with different services, but at the same time, why use mbin when everyone congregates on lemmy instances? The local magazines on fedia are for the most part, quite dead, when compared to lemmy collections. In the end I feel like there aren’t enough people to go around to support many more services like MBin and Piefed.

    They appear in the “microblog” tab. To see them it’s necessary to get in the habit of clicking on that occasionally. Seems worth it. The rest of the fediverse is maybe two orders of magnitude larger than lemmy, there’s lots of stuff to be seen out there.

      That just shows all posts though, or all posts posted to a certain community or whatever. I don’t think there’s a place where I specifically just see the posts of accounts or even whole networks that I follow, like the subscribed feed for threads.

        Oh right, I forgot there’s a setting you may need in order to show only ‘subscribed’ stuff by default.

        It’s sort of confusing. I usually just navigate directly to fedia.io/sub/newest as my starting point and then the microblog link at the top goes to /sub/microblog/newest.

          Wait, since when is this a thing? I’m pretty sure I’ve tried that some months ago already.
