  I'm on kbin.earth too and just checked the combined all feed sorting by newest and 6 out of the first 25 posts were microblogs from a mix of mastodon and misskey so they're definitely federating. I'm not sure of any other settings that would prevent them being displayed. @jwr1 do you have any ideas?

  If you go to the all microblogs feed you can see all the microblogs federated to your instance. Alternatively you can use the combined feed and it will have both threads and microblogs mixed together however you may have to scroll a while or sort by new to see microblogs.

  This is due to the difference in how users interact with the two forms of content and thus how they are ranked by the sorting algorithms. Threads will typically get more interaction with votes and comments than microblogs will because they are strutured more for discussion whereas with microblogs people tend to post more but each individual post gets less interaction and thus they get pushed down with the sorting methods used by lemmy/piefed/mbin.

  Mastodon uses a chronological sort so if you do want to see more microblogs it would probably be easiest to copy that and sort by new. I'm starting to think the only way to get a good mix between the two types of post is to have custom client side algorithms but that can get kinda complicated so no one is really doing it.

  You have malls and shopping centres? I thought they were the same thing. Whats the difference?

  Thats from the same user. They ask similar questions constantly and get similar responses. Wonder if they ever actually read and try to apply them.

  resume (cv/job application) more recently comes from french and is pronounced differently than resume (to continue). Ultimately they both come from the same latin word "resumere". https://www.etymonline.com/word/resume

  The default Samsung calendar app has a widget which shows how long since/until a chosen calendar event. Its probably something like that.
