On /sub I'm yet to see any of the posts from subscribed Mastodon accounts. I don't know why. Is there a way to give the post link directly to Kbin?
Edit: I tried https://kbin.social/u/@DOSBox_Staging@corteximplant.com/110575393140745029 to see this post for instance (https://corteximplant.com/@DOSBox_Staging/110575393140745029) and it didn't work...
there was a bit of a delay for me but not very long... you are looking in kbin.social/sub/microblog , correct? that is where "posts" appear.
A perhaps related question concerning Mastodon usage on kbin. I routinely scan through the microblog to find lots of interesting topics. When it's a main topic that has following replies I can read those by using the expand button, but often messages can be replies to others that I don't see any link to see a context. How does one easily trace back what a random broadcast might be referring to? Click on their name and then find it? Should there be a better way, or is this how blogging/tweeting works?
