An ability to put accounts and hashtags along with comms in the feeds.
Hashtags being assigned to feeds would be more sustainable in more distributed 'verse than using magazines for that purpose. (/kbin ones did not federate, benefitting mainly flagship kbin.social. Mbin changed this, but this made them somewhat like tags.pub bots, and apparently some performance issues happener (?))
IDK if any of e.g. WordPress users already made self visible on PieFed, but any 'Article' or 'Page' from these federated blogs (federated WordPress, Ghost, WriteFreely, OpenWrite) should be presented more like a Threadiverse thread (just as /kbin and Mbin do that)
For more information: kbin.social itself was compatible both with Lemmy and Mastodon (and similar federated microblogs). You could browse microblogging posts and sort it like Lemmy posts. You could make your own magazine, and (additionally to using it as a comm) you could assign some hashtags to it, which then made toots from Mastodon & co land on your mag based on their tags. /kbin had got Collections of magazines long before PieFed recreated the feature as Feeds.
MBin is de facto a continuation of /kbin software (but without Collections).
However, I am talking specifically about kbin.social not only because it has became larger and more widely federated than any MBin instance to this day.
During the late period Ernest (admin and a software creator) was already overwhelmed with scaling issues, firefighting them, refactoring code to prevent these issues, at the same time had some health problems... During these times, doors to register to kbin.social were widely open, the only admin-and-global-mod was Ernest - which meant that he was largely absent, and many official magazines, like m/internet, remained abandoned as well.
Spambots ultimately found a way to register to a site, and they massively posted a mass of unpaid advertisements, SEO-optimised articles from South Asia, or something.
The community managed eventually to create a TamperMonkey script which hid these spamaccounts (based on regularly updated CSV files AFAIK) from the sight of a user.
Today and yesterday's Lemmy growth is probably an anomaly. PieFed instances have been forced by an irresponsible disclosure to temporarily close down for security update.
Piefed.zip has been down for entire Saturday and directed its users to register to lemmy.zip

Duke Nukem is another Wolfenstein. And Half Life is Marathon. (frog blast the vent core)

So, this is effectively a PieFed's m/random
(not to be confused with r/random, available already on PieFed - as I am talking about /kbin (and by extension: MBin) feature)
Behold: a shippost
OK. *crossposts this to !video_game_memes@piefed.social *

You can subscribe to PeerTube channels, watch and comment their videos on PF
/kbin had (and by extension: Mbin has) got reputation points
Loops if you want to post exclusively vertical videos. PeerTube if you want to post horizontal ones too
Don't worry, this series of tubes is indeed complex
Just like YouTube
Odysee is not federated. Its decentralisation is based on LBRY blockchain.
cosocial.ca Mastodon instance worka like this

These were the times...
You would love late kbin.social
