Is there a way to save threads or save comments within kbin?

[-] mihnt@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

For posts you can just upvote them and it will show up on your profile.

[-] Meditative@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Interesting. Good to know!

If it's not already in the works, I could see a lot of utility from adding a "favorited" or "saved" threads/comment option for users to better organize and access the content they want to as opposed to having to sift through what could end up being thousands upon thousands of upvotes.

[-] necrophagist@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah...I upvote a lot of things, but save really useful stuff ... definitely need a save feature

So what is "boost" going to do on a post, if I use that?

[-] FrostTom@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

I believe that’s basically synonymous with a “retweet”

Or at least that’s what I could find

[-] Magess@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

So it puts it on my personal profile, and if people were following me personally they'd see it.

[-] Liontigerwings@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

How do you subscribe to magazines?

[-] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Same way as on Reddit. By clicking the subscribe button in the sidebar.

[-] Liontigerwings@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Followup, how do I see the sidebar on mobile?

[-] chase@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Scroll to the bottom of the page.

[-] ANuStart@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

You can also use the "hamburger" button to the left of the kbin logo when viewing a thread to access all the subscription options.

Yeah the mobile interface needs a little work

[-] major_malarkey@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Wth is this microblog I'm seeing under threads?

[-] 0xtero@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

It's essentially (in simplified terms) a Mastodon client.
There's really no reddit equivalent, but if you pretend reddit and twitter had the same web interface, you'd get close to that "Threads" and "Microblog" are.

[-] IBNobody@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

I understand the concept, but not the purpose. Why would I post something to a microblog when I can post a thread? Or I guess if I was more twitter-savvy, why would I create a thread when I can post something to a microblog?

[-] 0xtero@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe you wouldn't. But this being the fediverse I can follow all the communities/magazines from other services, like Mastodon, Pixelfeed or Peertube (fediverse equivalents for Twitter, Instagram and Youtube). I can post to these communities/magazines from those apps as well. Those posts will end up as Microblogs.
