This may be useful for folks looking to expand their feed. I discovered this on accident and it completely revolutionized my experience on Kbin.

To view all of an instance's posts, just use https://kbin.social/d/[instance domain here]

This appears to work for all Kbin instances, most Lemmy instances, and some Mastodon instances (this may have to do with their federation with kbin.social - I'm uncertain). Other platforms may work as well. Some examples:

https://kbin.social/d/lemmy.world
https://kbin.social/d/lemmy.ml
https://kbin.social/d/geddit.social

https://kbin.social/d/mastodon.social
https://kbin.social/d/hachyderm.io

Just hit the button to subscribe, and the entire instance is in your feed. It also provides a nice jumping off point to explore and subscribe to specific communities on that instance.

When you use this technique with a list like what's available from the Fediverse Observer, it really widens the reach of your feed and your ability to participate across the Fediverse.

But it doesn't work for every instance.. don't ask why.
The two instances of Mastodon in which I have my accounts are not reachable through this way

https://kbin.social/d/babka.social
https://kbin.social/d/hed.im

But people from those instances follow my kbin account (and opposite) ... thus they are federated with kbin and the federation does work.

Other domains like facebook or twitter should not be accessible, but they are and the results are not really good...
