With Twitter and Reddit the way that they are, many people are turning to federated servers as their online home, kbin among them.

How are you using kbin? As a Twitter replacement? Reddit? As something new entirely?

Personally I’m trying to follow multiple types of federated content, magazines, and people.

I think kbin has a lot of growth to go through before all that content can become streamlined and look nice - but it’s all there, and that’s what counts.

If there’s one thing I would change, it would be putting the comment box at the top, or in a drop-down instead of at the very bottom of a thread. But, I’m also just happy that the site is more stable and people are posting!

    @RegularBard I wanted to use Kbin as a Reddit Twitter Hybrid, where microblogs and threads are shown together based on magazine and hashtags and you could seamless answer to both. Now I dont know if it is possible to have a view of people i have followed from Kbin, so now in just use it as a Reddit replacement

      That page should be https://kbin.social/sub/microblog but I see cacheson also says they have issues with it. I only see people I follow there, but I guess it does show posts from magazines I subscribe to as well, it just must be rare for the magazines I sub to to get (microblog) posts rather than threads. Perhaps for people that subscribe to magazines with common hashtags it might be worse.
