@cleverdevil @hutaffe What an odd list. Mine consists almost exclusively of books and jazz albums, and varies according to whether I view it in the built-in Micro.blog browser or in Safari — in Safari, there’s only one item (the only ebook I ever bought from Kobo), and that doesn’t appear on the MB browser list!
