Hey everyone, very new to mbin. I used to have both a Lemmy and Mastodon account separately, so I'm familiar with the idea of threads and microblogs. However, on mbin I'm noticing microblogs can be posted to a magazine, and I've even seen microblogs from Lemmy users. How is that possible? I assumed the only people that could make microblogs were mastodon and mbin users. Also, if you can post a microblog to a magazine, what separates it from a thread? The only thing I can tell is that the app labels one as a thread and another as a microblog.

Honestly the only real difference is that a thread has a title and can have a linked URL. Otherwise they are pretty similar to a user. In a technical way, a thread is the native lemmy post and a microblog is the native mastodon post
