No, you need an account on mastodon or another microblog platform

You can’t easily run the normal version. You can install the android version fairly easily, but running the normal version requires you to enable a debian container from developer options

Actually, it seems I was misunderstanding. Apparently all mastodon posts get federated as appearing on !random, so I’m not sure what I was seeing

But on mastodon, there’s a feed that lets you view all posts from all federated instances. Wouldn’t mbin users be excluded from that feed when posting to !random?

Edit: I was looking, and it seems to me that if a user posts to !random, I can’t even see it on their profile from mastodon? Am I misunderstanding this?

My understanding is that mbin encourages microblogging to !random, which you can’t see from other instances. Is that incorrect? If that’s the case, I really don’t understand how mbin federation is supposed to work

I believe instances generate the preview as soon as it’s federated. The problem is that if you have many followers, each of their instances will try to generate a preview at the same time

They only added it a couple of versions ago

On jerboa, I wish there was a way to enlarge images posted in commdnts

Thank you so much for pointing this out!

Though I wish there were a way to clear them by clicking a button, so you can get a mix of new and old and manually clear the old. It’s not a huge deal, but I like being able to go back to the things I saw a few minutes ago
