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

@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.

FediTips has moved!

@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.
