Comment on Is there a fediverse service that access most fediverse networks?
unknownuserunknownlocation@kbin.earth 3 days agoI checked the global microblogs page, but I'm mostly seeing things posted to random@kbin.earth, with a couple of things posted to some Lemmy instances, but nothing posted to mastodon. Maybe I'm understanding the whole concept wrong? (Or I'm blind?)
But I did look at the Linux Experiment channel - and realized that I have seen their videos in my feed - awesome! And there, it makes sense that not as many of those pop up, since there are way less videos being created than posts made. But I now know that that works - cool! (And now I'm distracted by another of his videos...)

Mastodon (and related platforms) do not have a concept of magazines (communities), but Mbin requires that all posts should be categorized into a magazine, thus, most Mastodon posts you will find within the
randommagazine. They are still going to include external servers, which you can verify by checking the author of the post and seeing which server they are from.unknownuserunknownlocation@kbin.earth 3 days ago
OK, got it! I tried going on a microblog post and opening the original URL, and sure enough, I landed on a Mastodon instance. Makes sense, I was sort of surprised at the amount of microblog content on kbin.earth, that explains that.
Awesome - thanks!
