one thing you can do is to browse the subscribed microblog feed, https://thebrainbin.org/sub/microblog
Thanks, this is the kind of thing I hoped for!
you can also go to the general settings, https://thebrainbin.org/settings/general, and set "Homepage" as "Subscriptions", and "Front page default view" as "Microblog", so https://thebrainbin.org/ becomes a mirror of https://thebrainbin.org/sub/microblog
Excellent tip, thank you!
