I 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…

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.
