@kari I'm struggling with the same thing, and posted (microblogged?) about it here.

AFAIK

  • kbin link, photo, and video submissions are analogous to link submissions on reddit, and to new posts on lemmy.
  • kbin article submissions are analogous to text submissions on reddit (and also new posts on lemmy since it doesn't seem to make a distinction between link and text submissions)
  • kbin post submissions are an anomaly, untitled posts like twitter tweets or mastodon toots that technically go into a magazine (/m/random, unless another is chosen) although they are displayed under the microblogs header rather than threads.

@chris Thanks, that helps. Slowly wrapping my head around this stuff.

 

Let me see if I have this straight -- I'm getting a bit of a headache.

If you make a new link, article, or photo {on kbin} it will become a thread in a magazine which you must choose. Replies to that thread are comments and go to everyone following that (thread? magazine?)

If you make a new post it will become a non-threaded {untitled} microblog entry in a magazine which you must choose. Replies to that microblog post will be replies and go to everyone mentioned by username.

If the latter is true, I wonder why there isn't a hidden "microblog" magazine for microblog entries. Why are they forced to belong to a certain magazine? If the user isn't subbed to any mags what shows up in the "select a magazine" dropdown?

{Edited to add missing words and this: the interface said "thread created successfully" (or similar) and calls this a thread in the right sidebar. At that point I legit couldn't remember if I made it as a post or article. It appeared under microblog. The profile overview shows it as a post and not a thread. }

Hovering tooltips would be helpful for this kind of thing. The other day I was staring at the PURGE button next to READ ALL on the notifications listing. I assumed READ ALL meant "mark all read" but PURGE was more ambiguous. Finally I just PURGED to see what would happen.

Answer: READ ALL ghosts out the posts but they are still clickable. PURGE removes all the posts from the notification list.

The only Apple thing I ever enjoyed using was a ][e.

Not avoiding yet, but I just cut my subscribed subreddits by about half. Should reduce my time there.

OSMAnd. I love the downloadable mapsets and screen configurability

Duckduckgo by default, adding !g bang syntax to use google if DDG isn't helping.

Will you go back to Reddit and other centralized social media platforms, if Reddit step back from the API changes?

No; I didn't even know about the API issue until after I registered on a lemmy instance.

My transition from twitter -> mastodon was so smooth and pleasant I started sniffing around lemmy again. I'd looked at it a year or two ago but didn't take the bait at that time.

One step away from A Clockwork Orange where users' eyes will be held open so they are forced to see fashy-curious content

Same, happened to me 2x this morning when I switched to another browser tab. I caught one before posting my comment, but the other comment got posted to the unrelated thread that had suddenly appeared.
