Does PieFed-mbin federation include microblogs?

!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

  The same community contains completely different posts when viewed via lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/c/pcgaming@fedia.io
  Probably some bug from mbin.

  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.

  Yes, it is similar to what Lemmy does. You can interact, but it's not the main focus of Lemmy or Piefed.
