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.

what do you mean adjust your filter? I'm on mbin but I'm pretty new.

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.

that's the default

Might depend on how your instance is set up.

that makes sense, I am on kbin.earth which as far as I can tell is mbin's .world equivalent.

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.

the dev for the mobile app said he's working on that in the matrix channel

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.
