A few questions (well, I have like 20 but I’m just sticking to a few rn..) for a new mobile browser user:
How can I see local only content on kbin? I like the kbin content more rn and am getting a bit overwhelmed with all of the posts & instances/magazines I am not as interested in taking up the main feed. But with it being new to me I don’t wanna just stick to my subscribed magazines since there may be a bunch of new growing ones I’d wanna see on my feed. Any way to do this? Another way to put it, I’d like to unfederate my feed - take me back to yester-night
Is there any way to minimize the post or a comment tree? It’s probably the only feature that I haven’t seen on kbin.social that I really want. it’s taking me soooo long to get through some comment feeds and the posts do take up a bit of space on the main feed.
Is there a way yo subscribe to a post or “save” it? This is something I haven’t seen on any instance and while it’s not a major issue for me, I’d love to see it! I don’t always have the time to read a post but I wanna check back later. Any way to do that or do the people on Reddit who always comment “Commenting so I can save this post for later” finally have a leg up on me?
Thanks! Really enjoying kbin. Love this instance’s chill, community feel.
Ah, that makes sense - I always see that uncolorized “fediverse” logo and think of it like the “Share” button on iOS (and various other icons). It works! That was easy. Now I can go sub to the instances on Lemmy/beehaw when I get the time.
Yep, agreed. They’re doing a lot rn so I get it. Overall I love the feel on Kbin mobile - maybe slightly smaller font size ?
Yes boosting works for saving a post!! I had heard that as well but didn’t see a spot to change it - tbh I haven’t looked much at my own profile and saw there’s a slider where you can move over to boosted posts/comments and it shows them!
As someone who never used Twitter, it seems like microblogs are like comments from a thread but the parent thread doesn't exist and each top level comment is its own topic? Perhaps a roundabout way of thinking, but am I on the right track here?
What are the badges in each magazine? And how to use them? I cant find any documentation on that front. While I'm at it asking questions, how do tags work?
Does anyone else just feel really, really good just being here? I am brand new and I ain’t going anywhere. Even with less content, or minor interface/web inconveniences (all of which are being addressed and that’s a pleasure to watch too) it feels like a community. Good vibes all around.
I should add, even though Reddit has its niche communities- overall Reddit never felt super connected for me. Always seemed like “Reddit” wasn’t what made it special (over time, it took away imo) but the people who put effort into making it engaging - curious - passionate. Here it has those same people but it’s built intentionally into the way it’s run, more integrity in the Fediverse - with more consideration for authority and less ego. And if I’m wrong so what? We live and learn, as individuals and as a collective. So imma ride the wave, it’s a good vibe right now. Thanks to the smart people who do good, you’re cool.
