In the Kbin admin panel — there is a "settings" section.

There are 3 sections in the kbin admin panel's "settings" section:

• General
• Meta
• Instance

Both "Meta" and "Instance" have a field called "Title".

It is not clear to me what each of these is for, or what the difference is between them.

Although I realized — if you want the page <title> changed, you need to set Meta's "title". But then — what does Instance's "title" do?

In the Kbin admin panel — there is a "federation" page.

The only thing I see on the Kbin admin panel's "federation" page is what looks like an input field to add ban instance servers.

It wasn't clear to me how I should enter the information — comma separated, each on its line, etc.

BUT — once I started typing, it became obvious.

In the Kbin admin panel — there is a "pages" page.

There are 5 sub-menu items on this page:

• About
• FAQ
• Contact
• Terms of service
• Privacy policy

None of them seem selected, so it is not clear which of those 5 pages (if any) you about to create or edit — unless you look closely at the path in the URL, and notice it is "/admin/pages/about" (rather than "/admin/pages").

I think it would be better to visually indicate which is selected.

Here is one of the tasks I ask people to do, when I onboard them onto the Fediverse —

I ask them to create a Mastodon account.

I then ask them to create a PIxelfed account.

I then ask them to make their Mastodon account follow their Pixelfed account. And make their Pixelfed account follow their Mastodon account.

Virtually all of them fail at this! — and cannot figure out how to make these 2 accounts on different servers follow each other.

Here is why —

All of these people have used social-media before (but have not used the Fediverse before).

They are used to going to someone's social-media profile, and clicking a "follow" button.

On the Fediverse, that works if you are on the same server as the person you want to follow.

But it doesn't work, on the Fediverse, if you are on a different server as the person you want to follow.

You have to do something different —

On the Fediverse, if you are trying to follow someone on a different server than the one you are on then —

You should not go to their profile page.

You should instead go to the proxy of their profile page on your server.

Yeah, I know, it is confusing reading that — I'll explain —

You don't go to:

https.//their-server·social/＠joeblow

You instead go to:

https.//my-server·com/＠joeblow@their-server·social

And clicking the follow button there, will work.

BUT —
