So, this is coming from a reddit user. I don't really understand the microblog button and how/what kind of content it gives you and how it's organized. Can some one give a brief summation.
Some thoughts about using the Microblog functionality in kbin and why, controversially, I think it might actually beat Mastodon at it's own game - browsing toots....
One of the things I love about the Fediverse is that it is growing in about 8 different directions and they all cohere.
From #Fedidb look at the top software undergirding the Fedi:
#Pixelfed, #WordPress, #Microblog#Peertube are all playing substantial roles...but are not "forks' of Mastodon but are entirely different apps, which benefit from Mastodon, and give value back to it. And are one Fediverse.
To see related #Japanese language-learning content, consider checking out @Japanese. While @Japanese will include language-learning content, it will also include content beyond simply learning Japanese itself. This may prove useful for finding resources and content for written and spoken immersion. @Japanese may also be updated to include content related to more general Japanese-language content as well.
Regarding the #microblog section found here in @LearnJapanese, you may use this space to complete Japanese language-learning exercises, ask questions, provide answers, or find others that are inexperienced and experienced alike. However, please note that users from Mastodon will only have their posts federated to @LearnJapanese if #learnjapanese or #japanesepractice is the first tag embedded in your post. The way /kbin currently works is that by using #Japanese as the first tag in your post, your post will be sent to @Japanese instead.
This section may also be useful for posts that you may feel don't necessitate its own thread. In that sense, this area can act as a "daily discussion hub" akin to the megaposts found on Reddit. That being said, though this is a space for questions and whatever else--you're still permitted and encouraged to post questions among other things as threads too. We look forward to seeing beginners and veterans alike engaging in discussion with one another. お当該頑張りましょう！
Attached below is a link to a list of recommended resources.
Please feel free to add a reply if you have a suggestion, or have critique regarding any resources I have provided. If one is providing critique, please also include an alternative. I am not perfect, but I am open to suggestions. By teaching me, you help future users that stop by to read our conversations. Thanks, and best wishes on your Japanese-language learning journey.
Mbin is alive and kicking! A community-focused fork of Kbin, which has tons of improvements, features and bug fixes. Mbin is a federated content aggregator, voting, discussion and microblogging platform.
Feel free to host your own instance on the fediverse! If you are already running Kbin; migrating is straightforward towards Mbin and experience the benefits yourself.
One of the things I find cool about Kbin is the fact that it's a platform for both thread aggregation and microblogging. How much do you use the latter side of things? Do you make microblog posts, actively browse the microblog tab, view them in your home feed, or rarely touch them?
I am a very happy #Microblog customer - and if you look on #FediDb, they are one of the top Fediverse-enabled platforms (in the top 6) and just launched the ability to post to both Mastodon/Fedi and #Bluesky.
They are having a virtual yearly event online #MicroCamp and it's about to kick off. And @Onmyom will be one of the keynote speakers.
In case you missed it (I also didn't see it in the install doc), the new version of Mastodon (v4.2.0) includes automatic update checking every 30 minutes in the background
Additionally does anyone have any recommendations of cool people and organizations to follow on Mastodon? I am literally open to any and all ideas and representations (I wish to expand my understanding as well as open my mind to views that oppose my own proclivities).
There are also extensive notes from almost all sessions that people ran on so many #Fediverse subjects, ranging from technology and standards to moderation, to enterprise needs to community building and more.
👉🏾 #Mastodon variant #TruthSocial sadly takes to the top spot
👉🏾 Mastodon dominates the list, but #Misskey, #MicroBlog & #Pixelfed instances reach the top 30
👉🏾 Testing sites with fake accounts were not counted, but they are “inflating” the metrics (they should be ignored).
👉🏾 I also excluded a #Twitter content scraper
I understand that "articles" do not go to mastodon, but "microblogs" do. There are 3 "posts" (microblogs) in my magazine, but nothing has appeared under the magazine's account on Mastodon. There are apparently 11 followers over there, so I feel bad that they are not getting any content....

Open source microblogging site has seen surge of interest since Musk took over Twitter.«
I really do wonder WTF is it about Meta that breaks people's brains? I just have no words anymore. I get it that blogs are meant to be read by everyone, but did you really have to make this post explaining why it's not a bad idea to ping them and connect with them when we publish a blog post? Also, good on an opt out thing? https://www.manton.org/2023/06/27/lets-welcome-meta.html#Meta#MicroBlog
🌐 La mia soluzione nuovissima scintillante per pubblicare i post #MicroBlog (non solo quelli del #Blog grosso, che è sempre stato così) sul #sito di mia proprietà, e averli subito ritrasmessi ovunque, sul #Fediverso nativamente e poi su #Telegram, così non lascio a piedi mai niente e nessuno:
Does anyone know what is happening with the Misskey project? It seems they changed the docs site once again. Similar to the last change, many of the links are leading to not found message or lack additional details.
It looks like they are now using Nuxt. Why migrate to new doc site if most of the info are not ready? Confused
Can some one explain how the microblog feature works.

Browsing the wider fediverse from kbin

How much do you use Kbin for microblogging?

OC How do I add/follow people from different Mastodon instances to read in the "Microblog" section of kbin?
Additionally does anyone have any recommendations of cool people and organizations to follow on Mastodon? I am literally open to any and all ideas and representations (I wish to expand my understanding as well as open my mind to views that oppose my own proclivities).
How can I better engage with Mastodon from my magazine?
I understand that "articles" do not go to mastodon, but "microblogs" do. There are 3 "posts" (microblogs) in my magazine, but nothing has appeared under the magazine's account on Mastodon. There are apparently 11 followers over there, so I feel bad that they are not getting any content....
