I know you can follow kbin users from Masto and co and see their threads and boosts and I think that’s pretty cool, but what does it do on kbin? I followed two accounts to test and it looks like the threads they create will show up in my subscribed feed. But what about their microblog posts and boosts? It seems like there is no option in the microblog view to filter for follows and no dedicated feed for follows.
Definitely, you’re right that new timeframe doesn’t matter, I meant to type hot all time xD I would expect that to potentially grab like whatever was boosted most in the past but then again the algorithm does tend to show newer things even under hot.
Yea the tag system might need a bit of work. It works great for some magazines, but for others not so much. For example m/help is supposed to be a magazine for kbin help but it pulls in everything under #help which can be anything in the fediverse. I did see someone suggest a way for a magazine to remove it defaulting to using the tag of its name, which doesn’t seem like a bad idea to me
In hindsight I remember why I filter newest to a timespan, so wanted to make note of it. Right now:
https://fedia.io/m/kbinMeta@kbin.social/microblog/newest 500s for me but
https://fedia.io/m/kbinMeta@kbin.social/microblog/newest/1w is able to load. so cutting off some of the older posts helps me run into less 500 issues, and I generally don’t care too much about old posts unless I’m searching for something. that might be a fedia specific thing though, not sure how 500s are on other instances
