How to subscribe to magazines on a different instance.
Another user posted this in a thread with his blessing I am sharing it as it helps for people new to the fediverse
You go and browse the instance you want first. You don't have to create an account there, you can view everything, just can't post of comment without an account obviously.
Then, you look at the name of the community you want, in the form of /!something/ or it could be /@lemmy.world/ too.
You come back to kbin and type or paste that into the search bar without the exclamation mark but with an @ sign instead. so /!something/ sould be typed as /@something/ into kbin's search bar. The option to subscribe will appear in the search result.
You can use the same technique on mastodon to subscribe to kbin and lemmy accounts (and communities because technically they are accounts too). Just type or paste the /@something/ into the mastodon search bar.
I have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to post a reply... is their an option to move the comment box to the top? Or is that something that will be changed at some point?
I was initially introduced to Mastodon a few years ago by a close friend and picked up on it quickly given the benefits of not having to deal with advertising, or being shown what a mega-corporation thought I should have to see through algorithms. I have since found a great instance over on cupoftea.social that promotes quality...
I came over after the AMA. From what I've heard on the grapevine reddit can restore your last deleted comment. I want my content gone from reddit so I plan on editing all of my comments to Thank you u/spez your nightmare of an AMA. It showed your true colours. Your direct behavior is the reason I am leaving reddit. Then i'll delete my account. I think power delete suite allows you to mass edit comments.
Questions about Kbin from a new user (reddit escapee)
Is this the right place to post these kinds of questions? I can see the "select a magazine" button below, but I'm not sure which one would be appropriate in this case.
How can I look for new content? be it from the Fediverse/Lemmy or otherwise, how do I find "subreddits"? (for example anime discussion) -> Ironically, the "select a magazine" button is pretty good for this, but it isn't something I'd call intuitive.
Is it possible to change the UI? Be it from an options menu or an extension like RES. I really just want the comment\top reply to be at the top and not the bottom of the thread.
@sheepyowl From what I've see you are posting in the right place. As for content magazines are similar to subreddits however you can access magazines from other intances to get even more content. I posted a how to from another user on how to do this. Also by default notifications are turned off. They can be turned on and customized from your profile settings.

Sorry if this is a repost, but I don't seem to be recieving notifications from any interactions with my post....

OC How did you end up finding kbin? Did you migrate here from Reddit?
