In the late 1970s, following the release of Star Wars, the wider film industry was scrambling to find their own answer to George Lucas' monster sci-fi hit.

I just noticed that tags inserted on #KBin aren’t reflected properly on #Mastodon. This means that content from KBin won’t show up when searching a tag on Mastodon. I’m not sure if it’s related, but on #icecubes when you open a kbin tag it won’t open in-app. It will open it in Mastodon in a browser. Profile tags will also behave similarly, but those will instead open the KBin instance’s tag view.
There's a linear action game in Final Fantasy XVI, and it's the highlight of the experience. But standard RPG tropes slow it down. Still, it's a Final Fantasy worth experiencing.
I know you have a lot going on right now, so I'm gonna cut Kbin a lot of slack. The simple ability to search, view, and subscribe to "magazines" is the best feature. But I have notes:...
It forces people to actually read the comments rather than just post their 2 cents that have already been mentioned dozens of time.
People have their preferences, not everyone likes infinite scrolling. I believe there’s a setting for this.
I agree
This site doesn’t need to be an exact copy of Reddit. The “Microblog” section of a “Magazine” is truly unique and has amazing potential. All content related to its magazine from the wider fediverse will be placed in there. I do think it needs a lot of work and in its current state it won’t be engaged that much on Kbin.
On KBin we have the ability to add tags to posts. These can either be directly added using the “pound” sign octothorpe, as in #KbinMeta. You can also add tags using the “Tags” field when creating an article, link, or photo. The second method will append the tags to the end of the post when the post is federated....
In your magazine’s settings page, currently titled “Magazine Panel”, there’s a page called “Tags”. There, you can add any tags that you want associated with your magazine.
I have set up a few custom tags for my magazine, /m/bsg, if you want to see it in action.
Edit:
Some wrote up a nice guide for the moderator features on KBin:
If you're here from Reddiit, please remember to use the boost link in the post rather than the Upvote button, as the Upvote is meaningless to a user's reputation.
@NotTheOnlyGamer maybe we shouldn’t encourage people to try and farm internet points. It might make so people engage in actual discussion rather than try to be the internet’s funny man.
Seeing stuff about reddit being posted to 10 different technology boards, plus reddit-themed ones, then reposted further just makes this whole idea a mess. Reposts have to be consolidated into a single comment thread.
#Mastodon has a feature where it’ll consolidate all the most linked to URLs in its explore tag. It doesn’t take you too any toots about the discussion, but shows that something similar is possible, even with federation involved.
There is a legitimate concern with one platform on the fediverse becoming the “main” platform. That platform will make all the decisions when it comes to wider fediverse. Much like GMail is now with email.
