We revisited the problem of describing, on average, a fractal distribution of matter using a Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) solution. Here we study the fractal structure of our local universe having a fractal dimension and a scale transition, ensuring an homogeneous bang-time function. We test our model with the latest type Ia supernova data, the Pantheon compilation, and discuss problems and possible improvements for it, concluding that a fractal transition in LTB cosmology cannot be used to explain the effects of dark energy without requiring an inhomogeneous big-bang, but it can be useful to study structures at low scales.
