Mbin does support microblogs. I believe there's a "Microblog" button in the navigation bar for desktop, and the same button found in the side drawer on mobile.

An update regarding the future of m/AskKbin (where we are headed towards) - AskKbin - kbin.social (kbin.social)

Hello everyone, check out my announcement post linked above and if you don’t know who I am, check out my past post to learn more about me and It would mean a lot of you show your support for my future iniatives inside the fediverse!...

If you have any feedback for Interstellar (the only Mbin app I know of), please share. I use the app daily, and it works great for my use case, but I don't automatically know what other people would like until they communicate it. (I'm the dev, btw)

I think the spacing for the cards might need to be adjusted anyway, but yeah, some sort of dense layout mode would be good to add.

Another Interstellar update: new icon, microblogging support, editing/deleting capabilities, youtube embedding, and more (kbin.earth)

To start, Interstellar finally has an app icon; thanks to @BenjMathis1 for designing it and @dannii_montanii for helping implement it into the app! (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jwr1/interstellar/e55763688df9f62b12997515830344b701e1f47c/assets/icons/logo.png)...

kbin.earth federation problems fixed (kbin.earth)

Recently, I've noticed federated threads/comments/votes were lagging behind, and it turns out kbin.earth was being spammed (hundreds in a minute, leading to a couple thousand queued messages after only half an hour) by a Lemmy server with the same exact activity pub message. After blocking the server (feddit.de), federation...

For Mbin (and I believe pretty much any federated platform), there has to be at least one person following you on an external server in order for your posts and threads to show up there. For instance, your post from two hours ago is showing up on mstdn.games because GamingWolf from mstdn.games followed you three hours ago. From a quick look at your followers list, it doesn't look like any of them are from mastodon.social or mstdn.social, so that's why your posts aren't showing on those two servers.

lol, I hadn't even thought about it sounding like a garbage can. Hopefully, nobody else thinks that when they see the website.

Also, if you already have an account on a Mastodon instance, you could follow yourself from there, instead of waiting for another user from that server to follow you.

Biggest Interstellar update yet: now on Google Play, Lemmy support, user/magazine mentions, and much more (kbin.earth)

I don't have a lot to say this time, but here's the biggest Interstellar update we've had so far. This update includes almost full support for Lemmy (notification viewing, direct messages, and post creation don't work yet though), there's a new user/magazine mentions feature, user profile pages now let you view a user's comments...

Favorite just means anything you upvoted.

Thanks for the feedback! I've thought about adding a subscription list, so I'll add that to the planned features. I'll also take a look at the mastodon app; someone else also said the layout took a lot of space, so I've already been looking into that.

kbin.earth server upgrade planned (kbin.earth)

Due to the increased usage and number of posts on kbin.earth, we have recently been reaching the system resource limit, and the server has frozen a few times in the past week. Sometime today (or hopefully by at least the end of tomorrow), I'll be moving kbin.earth to a new server with more ram. The expected downtime should be...
