So when I joined Kbin I knew I loved the merge of Microblogs and Threads allowing users to use two parts of the Fediverse at the same time. There are little parts of the Fediverse that I haven’t seen added yet and wonder if there are possible plans for it.
Such as Videos, I know there’s PeerTube but are there plans for even making a section to just watch, comment and like PeerTube videos?
It would be really cool to see a all in one platform for all your Fediverse needs but it seems like Kbin is just a merge between two sections at the moment.
I would rather see each service mature separately and focus serving its purpose well. kbin needs enough work as it is without trying to take on even more project scope. And how many users really want or need a combined Mastodon/Lemmy/PeerTube/Pixelfed/Misskey/whatever site?

Would it? When one software tries to do too many things, it usually sucks.

I would love to see this as well, seeing as how Microblogs prosper! Please, add your ticket to https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues - it’s a recent fork of Kbin that’s governed by a community.
Also, account for possible scope creep and try finding a solution in what Mbin already has to provide with extra steps. For example, test whether the video you post on PeerTube with one of the tags featured on a magazine does actually appear on Mbin. It most likely does not… unless you try following the PT account from Mbin? Do media previews work on these posts? We could really use some help understanding this model and possibly make a fun multimedia experience that would outgrow plain text.

This is like asking if whether or not KBin or Lemmy will be on the same levels as Reddit/Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp/Twitter within a year.
The answer is no, not yet, it’ll take time and it’ll have to be one thing at a time.
