Is Kbin trying to be a one-stop shop for the Fediverse? (kbin.run)

So when I joined Kbin I knew I loved the merge of Microblogs and Threads allowing users to use two parts of the Fediverse at the same time. There are little parts of the Fediverse that I haven't seen added yet and wonder if there are possible plans for it.

Such as Videos, I know there's PeerTube but are there plans for even making a section to just watch, comment and like PeerTube videos?

It would be really cool to see a all in one platform for all your Fediverse needs but it seems like Kbin is just a merge between two sections at the moment.

I would love to see this as well, seeing as how Microblogs prosper! Please, add your ticket to https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues - it's a recent fork of Kbin that's governed by a community.

Also, account for possible scope creep and try finding a solution in what Mbin already has to provide with extra steps. For example, test whether the video you post on PeerTube with one of the tags featured on a magazine does actually appear on Mbin. It most likely does not... unless you try following the PT account from Mbin? Do media previews work on these posts? We could really use some help understanding this model and possibly make a fun multimedia experience that would outgrow plain text.

@vintprox Also just added it as a requested feature on the Mbin Github, thank you for suggesting that.

@vintprox Thank you for the suggestion, been using Mbin for the past couple of days and have been loving it. Sadly I'm not really good with code so can't help with any of the implications of PeerTube stuff but I will see how it reacts to Mbin and if it embeds into mbin instead of just redirecting you straight off the site.
