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.

Although, I don't know the answer to #2, I do know a slight workaround. If you enable previews, the photos should apper at the bottom of the post in full size.
Edit: It's called auto media preview and it's shows up when you click the settings bar on the bottom of the page.

Yes, I've seen this, I've enabled it for now but photos show up too big and I don't like it. It'll have to do meanwhile. Thanks.
