As mentioned by @Kichae above, the microblog section, while it will contain posts by people you follow, seems to essentially be a global or federated feed of everything that goes through the instance … so it’s not just the microblogs posted to groups drowning things out then … ?
How would you filter out all of the microblogs posted by mistake? If the microblog section is like a global feed, how could you filter out everything but those you follow?
I don’t want to be too critical of kbin here, especially as it’s young platform with a bright future, but it shouldn’t be too hard to explain how to get a feed of the people you follow … right? Unless it’s just not possible? In which case, people should really stop saying that kbin is lemmy + mastodon. From the perspective of writing posts to both platforms, it seems to fit the bill nicely, especially with the nice hashtag->magazine feature. But for reading a feed, it appears to not have the mastodon side covered at all.
Is this on the roadmap (I would guess so)?
IMO, there is a tad too much “hype” or “overselling” happening on the fediverse. Excitement is good, obviously. But I’ve seen a bit too much factually incorrect statements about what is possible with a specific platform, which, IMO, only do harm by either leading someone to disappointment or feeling like a platform is too hard to use because they can’t work out how to do something that isn’t actually possible. I certainly felt that way about kbin and getting a feed of those I follow and dismissed it as having a bad UI, now I realise that I was under a false impression.
