    Someone wrote “welcome home” as a reply and it has touched me more than I would admit

        My English is not the best so maybe there was also something lost in the translation. But what I thought about was that probably all this open source and free internet loving people from Wikipedia has to use twitter as an communication channel for so long and that it is probably pretty cool to see for them that the open source universe is expanding further more.

    Okay so this is the first time I’m actually interested in following a Mastadon account via kbin. Um…this is what microblog is for right? Is there a place I can see posts from just my followers?

          That’s the catch, isn’t it? Like subscribed magazines it’s not easy nor obvious to find the people you’ve followed. I think the only thing following does is adds them to your “following” list, which you can only find in your profile.

          The mastodon-type posts/microblogs are less well developed at this point. It’s a recent feature added to the software before the reddit blow up, if I remember right

          Things are moving fast for kbin and lemmy, but right now it feels like nothing is moving fast enough. It’s tough being patient.

          My understanding is that whenever someone you follow on mastodon makes a post, in kbin it shows up under Microblogs in the “random” magazine… I think… which is here:

          https://kbin.social/m/random/microblog

          but maybe you can narrow that down by using the “subscribed” filter? Maybe? (edit: yes, appears that’s how to do it, select the subscribed filter and then the microblogs tag for https://kbin.social/sub/microblog to see just who you’re following.)

          I think things only show up in other magazine microblogs if someone on kbin specifically posts one to that magazine.

          Still working things out myself. But it’s probably better to have a separate mastodon account and appropriate app to keep up with those posts and ignore the Microblogs tab because for some reason all comments are always expanded. Again, I think.

          edit: correction already, it looks like everyone posting on Mastodon shows up in the random microblog, whether you follow them or not.

    Is there any mention of this from them directly? The domain isn’t verified on the mastodon profile, which is unfortunate.

    Amazing to me that a nonprofit can do it, but my local police department, state forest fire service, etc etc, cannot and are stuck on twithell and fuckbook.
