First of all, I don’t even know if this is the place to ask, but I couldn’t find anywhere else that made sense…

Second, Kbin looks amazing, definitely the best out of the fediverse, however there are still things I cannot for the life of me find in the UI.

  1. Where can I see a list of the magazines I’m subscribed to? A list, not posts from.
  2. Why do the thumbnails for posts appear distorted? The have incorrect aspect ratio. Is there a way to fix this?
  3. Where can I see a list of local communities?
  4. How is microblogging handled differently from other types of posts? Do they all show up on the home page?

EDIT: #5 I don’t seem to get any notifications of any sort, visual or otherwise, that I have received responses to a post or comment. Is this the way it’s supposed to be?

I have many more, but any help with those for now would be amazing.

    1. Got it, makes sense, I figured as much.

    2. Yes, I mean a list of magazines hosted/birthed on kbin.

    3. I have no experience with Mastodon, but thank you for suggesting “New Article” which is what I did here, seems like the type of post I was looking to make, which is unintuitive because if you click on “Add New Post” it takes you to microblogging, and that’s where my question arised.

    Thanks again!

      To see more magazines/communities, I click Magazines and then that page has a search bar for magazines (I search for the names of my reddit subreddits) and a list of a lot of them.

      I think on redditalternatives, there’s also a migration directory to show the corresponding subreddit to community/magazine
