- @vicinus@piefed.zip has a nice series going in c/Fedigrow, here: Weekly Thread – Identifying Community Gaps
- This probably deserves its own post-- a handy tool for helping communities federate more widely: https://lemmy-federate.com/
- I’m still not sure if Lemmy / PF federates with Mbin. I tried some experiments earlier but got nowhere. Anybody know?
Thanks for the shout out :)
Regarding mbin, I’ve seen comments/posts federate both ways in the past (seen mbin posts and comments, had mbin users respond to piefed and lemmy posts and comments). There aren’t very many active servers (currently 16) so that may be your issue. There are a list of the active servers in this post: https://piefed.zip/c/fedilytics@piefed.zip/p/1863298/growth-of-the-instances-20260929 .
Although, I’ve never noticed a Lemmy or Piefed account post to a mbin community. I wasn’t looking for it though, so could work, just never paid attention to that aspect.

AFAIK tardigram is mbin and their magazines look here like just another community
!ciencia@tardigram.com for exampleI suspect Mbin’s somewhat like Mastodon in that it can federate, but only under special circumstances. Par exemple, if you add hashtags to PF content, it will automatically hit Mastodon, and then Mast users can comment on the post, but otherwise the two ‘streams’ don’t seem to connect. I’m just not quite sure how that works with Mbin yet.
I suspect Rimu has talked about this before, possibly with greater federation as a future feature, I just haven’t found where yet…
Yep PieFed federates with Mbin as well as it does with Lemmy. Both were a priority since the beginning development. @vicinus@piefed.zip
And yet Mbin stuff doesn’t commonly show up in our ALL streams, which seems like quite like the baseline upon such matters, no?
(sorry mate, as always, I continue to be a complete moron upon these matters)
I don’t know why that might be :)
Here’s a community on a mbin instance with people from piefed posting into it - https://piefed.social/c/firefox@fedia.io
It happens.
fedia.io is the only busy Mbin instance, so focussing on that will bring up some posts. See https://piefed.social/instance/fedia.io/posts and https://piefed.social/instance/fedia.io/people
Good to know about the hashtag posts to Mastodon (didn’t know that before).
Hmm, it could be there are two different types of mbin “posts”. I just saw a mbin post asking about the difference between threads and microblogs: https://threadiverse.link/fedia.io/m/AskMbin/t/4407634
I vaguely recall Rimu talking about wanting Piefed to be interoperable with all the other major federated services, with the developers focusing on Mastodon currently.
