The idea is cool with all the apps interconnecting, but where do I go to actually see this in practice. Does the cross communication only work on platforms like Mbin/piefed, or am I not seeing something.

I keep hearing thanks to activity pub posts here can be seen and replied to from elsewhere, but I haven’t seen it.

      When you look at magazines for instance, you can change where it looks: Select “all” to look not just on your local Mbin, but through Lemmy, Pixelfed, etc.

              Yeah, I made an Mbin account but haven’t used it because I haven’t found a way to import my communities and follows from Lemmy and Mastodon. Would love to try the combined approach but I have too much for a manual transfer.

                  Actually, the migration tool is now out with the latest update. It is marked as “beta” as there are things that could be improved, but subscription migration does work between Mbin and Lemmy accounts.

                    just saw that yesterday. I hadn’t updated yet when I made that comment. glad it’s there even if only in beta because switching stuff like that sucks normally.
