Browsing the wider fediverse from kbin ( kbin.social )

Does Kbin also show posts from other microblog Fediverse like Firefish? It would be really nice if it could!

Sure. I don't know anyone on firefish, but this is dansup of pixlfed on that platform:
https://kbin.social/u/@[email protected]/posts
If you want to see posts from somebody on another platform just search them, something like "@ dansup@ pixelfed.social" (without the spaces) and follow them. From then on you should be able to see their posts (note you won't be able to see old posts, just any new ones from when you followed them onwards).

Super cool, thank you so much! I still am not sure if I can see Firefish posts automatically in the Microblog tab though. I also don’t know anyone there yet but I’ve been thinking of making an account after seeing a few posts here about it!

I think this instance would have to be aware of the post, so either

• Somebody on kbin.social would have to have followed the user who made the post; or
• A there needs to be direct mention of a user or a magazine here (along the lines of @ random@ kbin.social) in the post.

Once this instance knows about the post I think, yes, it can appear in the Microblog tab.
