!pcgaming@fedia.io seems to be flooded with microblog posts, and many of those posts aren’t even related to PC gaming. Also, the posts are not the same as what is shown on the original instance.

(The mod has no activity for a year, I think the community should shut down).

    Wow, that’s a dumpster fire. That community has been deleted from piefed.social now.

    I don’t think so, Piefed focuses on Reddit like structure, not micro logging

    The community should probably indeed shut down

      Sometimes, when I post from my mastodon account, piefed.social automatically adds a bracketed tag to the title [Microblog]. Another user told me about this at one point. If I tag a community, it will create a new post there. I can also respond to comments on the post, as long as I remember to always include a community tag.

          So, I guess re: OP’s question, what you’re saying is microblogs aren’t truly federated. That makes sense. I have been backing off the experimenting (with posting from mastodon) as it’s sort of a crap shoot how it will turn out. Direct posting to piefed is the cleanest result with more features than elsewhere in the lemmyverse so far.

            Sorry, I wasn’t clear: microblogs are federated, but on the other hand you can’t follow a Mastodon account from Lemmy or Mbin, which is what I meant with ‘not the main focus’
