If I were to create a community on Mbin, could Lemmy and Piefed users join?
I was a regular on lemmy.world prior to moving to Mbin, and I like how everything's in one place! I just have to ask, if I were to make an Mbin community (or magazine as they call it here) could users from other platforms join and engage with the content of my community? Thanks!

Does Mbin federate downvotes, yet?
Are you asking if they show downvotes? If so, yes!
No. It used to be that if someone on a remote server down voted something in Mbin then that vote would not be sent to all the other subscribers on other servers.
Oh, yeah, I haven't a clue. I can test it out.
It doesn't look like it.
Ok. So most people won't be aware of that but in my case the answer to your question is "yes I could join but if there is a similar community hosted on a Lemmy / PieFed instance I'd choose that instead".
To me, downvotes are not negative - a downvote on a post is equivalent to upvoting every other post. Lacking downvotes reduces the quality signal that causes good stuff to be visible.
