Isn't an "article" A piece of nonfictional writing such as a story, report, opinion piece, or entry in a newspaper, magazine, journal, dictionary, encyclopedia, etc.? (according to Wiktionary)

When talking about posts, ActivityPub differentiates between "notes", called toots on Mastodon (short, usually not-formatted, usually single-paragraph), and "articles", which can be longer and formatted.

/kbin is compatible with WriteFreely minimalist blogging software and its blog posts, already in the size of your typical article, can be read without any problem via /kbin interface, in "Threads"

Your account can be followed by a Mastodon account. Any Mastodon/Misskey/Pleroma/etc. follower will see on her/his feed not only all your posts and comments, but also anything you boosts. Boosts is retweet/reblog.

Do not worry about us, kbin.social oldtimers - it was founded only on April, and we are early adopters ;)

Another explanation, also valid: /kbin is also like a bookstore - with people being able to create their own magazines (or even newspapers), consisting of long-form articles, but also of short notes (fitting a toot on Mastodon). And it contains also magazines from other bookstores, as they collaborate with /kbin. And people are able to write their own pieces on every magazine, not only these, which they own!

I loved magazine name of "subfeddit" since first sight, and now, I love this dual meaning even more!
