Performance discussions: I thought it might be fun to have a monthly thread where we pick a “random” BTS song, and discuss/link to our favourite performances.

Lyric translations and discussions: threads for various songs where we can link to translations and discussions of the references/meanings. I know I’ve learned a lot from ARMY posts on mastodon that I would otherwise have missed.

Yes! Maybe a new thread for each comeback, where we can share info on the release, promotional appearances/events, etc.

It would be good, I think, to share information on some of the peripheral ARMY projects (learning Korean, academy, etc.).

Kbin Feature Discussion

Hi all, this is a thread to discuss KBin, including our general thoughts on the platform and features that are missing or not working. I am hoping this will help us determine KBin's long-term viability for ARMY as well as keep each other informed about what might not be working correctly at the time (as this is alpha software...

Notifications don't seem to be working at the moment.

Note: this has potential implications for moderation, as I'm not sure (as moderators) we'll see everything. If you spot something that concerns you in this magazine, please DM one of the moderators, and we'll look into it. Hopefully, as KBin matures, notifications will start working, and we'll get more mature moderation tools.

Note 2: If you have trouble DM'ing us here on KBin, DM us on Mastodon. The moderators are listed in the Magzine info, and we'll make sure our Mastodon handles are included in our profile.

Image upload isn't working.

I've tested adding an image thread, as well as adding images to an article thread. The UI on the desktop (tested on MacOS using Safari, Chrome, and Firefox) doesn't work. I haven't tested on mobile yet.

Correction: some notifications seem to be working, but I haven’t received all the notifications I expected. I’ll investigate.

Multireddit: In settings, you can adjust what is shown on your home page. Two options include only displaying content from your subscribed magazines and only showing content from "favorites". Favourites sounds like what you want, but I'm still trying to figure out how to make a magazine a favourite (does anyone know?). In the meantime, "subscribed" should get you closer.

Microblog posts are called "posts" in the add menu. They don't show up in the main "threads" view of a magazine, to see posts you need to go to the "Microblog" view within the Magazine. I haven't explored posts fully yet.

Ah, you could be right about favourites. And now I see what you mean about the multireddit -- it's more than I realised.

Hi, I tend to go by rLok online and I'm from Tasmania. I love KPop, and have been ARMY (OT7) since around 2018. I also love K- and C-Drama and reading (sci-fi and fantasy), travel. I dabble at writing (sci-fi currently), and earn my money in IT. You can find me on Mastodon as @rLok
