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.

Well it’s difficult to know what you don’t know, but the admin of fedia.io is the same as the admin of infosec.exchange et. al. and that’s not a small instance. When people discuss Mbin instances my impression is that fedia.io would be one of the bigger ones.

The point is that the more users you have on an instance and the more different and varied accounts/communities they follow, that means more content being pulled into that instance.

Or alternatively the instance might be subscribed to some relay in order to “see” more. But thats probably something that only the admin knows.

Yes, I know :) (I run a family instance with FediFetcher and relays as well)

Large instances are usually well covered enough. I don’t know if Lemmy/Mbin pull sll posts for a thread you visit but Mastodon has plans to do so in the future to alleviate this issue.
