I would like an option to basically see all the content I’m following from one timeline, since a microblog is being categorized to the random magazine I don’t see why this cannot be possible?
What is the sentiment around this?

Well, it would make both requests, and one would have to be made after the other. Whichever request is made last would be added to the end and displayed after the first. For example, if a request for threads is made, then the 25 threads that get returned from the API would be added to the list, then when the request for microblogs is made, and those 25 microblogs get added to the end (after the threads).
What I’m assuming you’re suggesting is to attempt to sort the threads and microblogs intermixed, which wouldn’t really work, considering how many different sorting options there are and how complex some of the sort options are. For example, in order to get the “Active” sort option to intermix the two types, I would have to dig into Mbin’s and Lemmy’s sourcecode in order to figure out how it sorts active posts. Some of the sort options would be easier to figure out though (like newest and commented), but there are still other issues to consider.
I see… I thought that it would be possible to make both request at the same time concurrently, and after both gave back a response (whether that be an error or not) handle it properly. Well, we’ll have to wait for #Mbin to implement this.
