This may be useful for folks looking to expand their feed. I discovered this on accident and it completely revolutionized my experience on Kbin.
To view all of an instance’s posts, just use https://kbin.social/d/[instance domain here]
This appears to work for all Kbin instances, most Lemmy instances, and some Mastodon instances (this may have to do with their federation with kbin.social - I’m uncertain). Other platforms may work as well. Some examples:
https://kbin.social/d/lemmy.world
https://kbin.social/d/lemmy.ml
https://kbin.social/d/geddit.social
https://kbin.social/d/mastodon.social
https://kbin.social/d/hachyderm.io
Just hit the button to subscribe, and the entire instance is in your feed. It also provides a nice jumping off point to explore and subscribe to specific communities on that instance.
When you use this technique with a list like what’s available from the Fediverse Observer, it really widens the reach of your feed and your ability to participate across the Fediverse.
…and a kbin instance will run in docker (or on a raspberry Pi) with only 2gb of ram… I’m with you there is some crazy clever code propping this all up!
Effectively, we’re seeing the output of software developers that aren’t held back by corporate red tape, Agile development, focusing all resources on monetizing user data, and general office politic bullshit. Quite refreshing, seeing what we’re capable of.
