update:

- The kbin.social server is now federating with the Fediverse. You can follow/interact with kbin.social magazines & users from other Kbin servers, Mastodon & rest of the Fediverse. For example the TIL magazine is at @TodayILearned, the lead dev of Kbin is at @ernest

- There's a new Kbin server at readit.buzz which is run by the same people as the Universodon.com Mastodon server. It's open for signups, just click "log in" and then "register".

Question: when I look at Mastodon toots from kbin.social, they all appear under the 'random' magazine. Is there a way to tag my toot to be categorized under a specific magazine?

@atypicaloddity

A really good question! I am not sure... Maybe @ernest or someone else can answer this? The official documentation (codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/wi) doesn't cover this, as far as I can tell.

I'm guessing you have to be using a Kbin account to start a thread in a particular magazine?

Codeberg.orgkbin-core/kbin is a decentralized content aggregator and microblogging platform running on the Fediverse network.

@feditips @ernest

You'd likely need a kbin account to start a magazine thread, but magazines also support microblogs. So I'd love to be able to post a toot to the, for example, m/gaming microblog instead of getting it pooled into the m/random microblog

FediTips has moved!

@atypicaloddity @ernest

Ahhh I see what you mean now, the microblogging tab within the actual magazine? Sorry, I am still getting used to all the features on Kbin!

I think I know what's going on...

Each magazine has a set of tags listed on the side of the screen, and it seems the microblogging section of a magazine displays posts with the tags that the magazine has chosen.

So, it's like the magazine has subscribed to hashtags and is displaying this feed in its microblogging section.

@atypicaloddity @ernest

So, to be included in a magazine's microblogging section, just include at least one of that magazine's listed tags in your post.

@feditips @ernest

Oh, that's really interesting. The magazines I was looking at didn't have a list of hashtags defined. TIL!
