Celebration is in the air: a new Teams background and the trust CEO 'hoping' that staff 'will find a few moments to celebrate the anniversary'. I 'hope' you all are looking forward to the momentous occasion tomorrow.

ELI5, what is the difference between a thread and a microblog on kbin?

@EarlGrey07 I'm no expert, but I think that the microblog is for quick, mostly text-only conversations. A bit like this one. You can think of it as being like a Twitter or Mastodon feed embedded within kbin.

The articles in the Threads thing are more Reddit-like.

The other thing is that a Magazine can be set up to auto-populate its Microblog feed based on specific hashtags. For example if it has been set up that way (and I don't know if it has, I'm not a moderator of this magazine) then /m/ELI5 could have hashtags set for or and then any post, anywhere on the Fediverse, which uses any of those hashtags will magically appear in the microblog here.

EarlGrey07,

@losttourist I see, that's quite helpful! I guess I can think of kbin as a hybrid of Reddit and Twitter? I'm not particularly familiar with using tags, but I can see that it would open up a lot of possibilities.
