yeah as far as I know mbin does not yet allow the connection with mastodon. I thought it had but looked it up and it seemed to be a soon type of thing.
you can do it. you just need to open the magnifying glass for Search and paste in the address for the mastodon account… same as subbing to a remote magazine.
if you search for someone youre already following, or click ‘following’ under your profile and click the remote user you will see their posts.
here is George Tekei’s feed who is on universeodon
Thanks folks. You know I think I was confused from this https://moist.catsweat.com/m/[email protected]/t/621832/Very-basic-noob-question-magazines-v-microblog#comments thread where I thought the comment about seperate being it can’t be done but it just means it does not go into the feed I think.
There is the micorblog but I was looking up how to look and and follow mastadon accounts and the best i could find is coming soon. I mean the blog area is fine but I see no way of really setting it up with mastadon.
Hi there mbin dev here. The interaction with mastodon is possible: you can follow people, you can see posts from people from mastodon (just in the “microblog” tab, not the “threads” tab), but it has not been the main focus since mbin was created and has therefore not made huge progress. We have plans to improve the microblog side of things (or at least I have), but there were just so many behind the scene problems with the code that needed fixing (and still need improvements) so we focused more on that.
I will not promise anything, but I want to have threads and microblogs in the same list and I am thinking of adding a “timeline” tab that works more like the microblog style that people know. However development has not started on that, yet and we therefore do not have a release with which this is expected or even an ETA.
its sorta what I said from another part of the thread:

Yeah that meant only that we have two different “tabs” or “areas” for the thread side (lemmy) and the microblog side (mastodon)
Omg I thought that was like it’s whole deal even!? 😞😲
Really ? I thought the microblogging part of Mbin could connect to Mastodon very easily

thanks. yeah. I think I just misunderstood a thread from mbin meta where I thought it was not possible. this has helped me a lot.
Sorry what you do mean? Mbin has full Mastodon support. You can look-up users and toots. You can follow people on Mastodon from a Mbin instance.
