How are Lemmy instances able to even see microblog posts ? Afaik Lemmy doesn't have microblogging feature , interaction between Lemmy and more microblog oriented parts of the fediverse should be more limited right ? Unless it was something they recently added , or a 3rd party app that adds it ig ?
Both kbin and lemmy inherently support microblog posts because that's what threads are behind the scenes. Kbin and Lemmy just choose to display things in a more reddit-like manner. The microblog tab on kbin is for communication with the wider fediverse, but lemmy.world asking kbin.social for new threads made by its users will result in microblog posts made from kbin.social showing up as normal threads on lemmy.world. Because threads and posts are pretty much the same behind the scenes.
What lemmy shouldn't be able to see is mastodon posts. I'm not sure though if kbin replies to mastodon posts make those appear on lemmy, that's a possibility but I don't know the answer there.
