How much do you use Kbin for microblogging? (kbin.social)

One of the things I find cool about Kbin is the fact that it's a platform for both thread aggregation and microblogging. How much do you use the latter side of things? Do you make microblog posts, actively browse the microblog tab, view them in your home feed, or rarely touch them?

Despite not being a fan of Twitter, I've actually really enjoyed the microblogging side of Kbin. I have my home feed set to Subscriptions (All Content), so I get a nice mix of threads from my favorite magazines and microblog posts with relevant tags. I also occasionally make microblog posts for things that I feel wouldn't warrant full threads, such as small bits of pixel art or idkbin updates. Unfortunately, these don't seem to federate to other microblogging platforms particularly well, and I ironically get more interaction from Lemmy (which just shoves Kbin microblog posts into its threads feed) than Mastodon.
