  https://fedia.io/threads should do it.

    But then you don't see other content like photos and videos.

      No this "threads" is just referring to everything that is not a microblog.

      Photos appear fine though? And I rarely see threads with videos attached so don't think those would appear on a quick check anyways.

  I honestly didn't expect that there needed to be a setting for this... But I mainly/only use the "sub" feed, and if you don't want microblogs there, just don't follow people posting them 😅

    I exclusively browse all, blocking magazines/communities that I really don't want to see.

      Yeah, that's what I expected. I just don't so I didn't consider it...

    In my case I do also use "sub" feed. But I still want to see only threads by default. I do use microblogs as well, but if I want to see posts, I click on the Microblog menu.

  I don't see anything on either https://thebrainbin.org/#settings or https://thebrainbin.org/settings/general, and on desktop it isn't loading combined for me so I can't test Ublock Origin filters either.

    On a magazine it appeared, so using it as basis:

    Threads appear as articles in the page's source code. Microblog posts appear as blockquote.
    So you should be able to hide them, at least with Ublock Origin, with domain_from_the_instance##blockquote, e.g. for mine, thebrainbin.org##blockquote.

      Like this in the respective tab of the dashboard (the menu the 3 gears icon from UbO open):

    Do you like the setting to be opt-out so "all" will be the default. Or should we make this combined frontpage a opt-in feature (default will stay "threads")?
