Just some stuff I have noticed in spending too much time on this over this weekend

  • the UI has a sidebar that renders as a super long column on mobile; updates are coming. So you will have to scroll a BIT to figure out where you are and access the menu I'm talking about below

  • There are two settings menus: one in the hamburger menu on, and then there is a small gray gear menu. The gear menu let you access themes and the mini-menu bar is at the top that help with navigation

  • most users make their subscription list private for reasons understandably, but I will look at other people's subscription list to see if there is anything I am interested in following and / or just follow the people

  • you can set your homepage to just see your subscriptions. I understand that grouping magazine subscriptions is also on the pipeline

Between having a home page in my subscriptions, and setting my notifications and just scrolling through those to see everything that has been posted in my magazines ....

.... I am having what feels like my normal show up and scroll and see what's going on experience

All of that said, another user mention the shift from consuming to producing, which is really interesting and intriguing thoughts for me personally and how I relate to the fediverse

Any other tips or tricks?

How has kbin bin (been) for you so far?

Also here's a great post about a search engine that searches across kbin, mastodon and lemmy

Also it's tricky

If people are mostly mastodon-based, you want to follow them as people

But on kbin content you probably are better off following the magazines / articles that people create, rather than the people who create them? thoughts?
