Signs of the #RedditMigration in action: Three of the top 6 #Fediverse servers are not only not Mastodon.social but they are not even microblogging servers - but rather are #Threadiverse servers.
That is only seriously good for the entire Fedi infrastructure. Diversity is strength.
@m_artigiani hello from the threadiverse :) on kbin we have content split up into two categories “threads” and “microblogs”. This is under our RedditMigration magazine in the microblogs section. Y’all on mastodon should be able to follow us and engage as normal and even appear in our “threads” section at times (depending on the context of the posts).
@fediversereport @fediversenews @fediverseobserver @tchambers
@Otome-chan How does this thread get placed in the RedditMigration section? Is it the hashtag?
I’m curious as the original poster is not on kbin and doesn’t mention a kbin group or anything.
@clacke yeah, they used the hashtag #RedditMigration, which is the @RedditMigration magazine has listed as one of the tags to “pull in”. here on kbin everything is organized based on magazines which are our “subreddits” and they have a threads section (works like reddit) and a “microblogs” section which has an assortment of mastodon posts (and posts from kbin users as well in this section). the magazine moderators can choose which hashtags to have added to there.
I don’t know if a post can be sent to multiple magazines, but when I browse the general “all” section for microblogs, all of the top-level mastodon posts all have a category. most of them end up in @random which is essentially for unsorted/uncategorized posts. but some will just have some particular one. I’ve added a screenshot to show what this looks like. you can see it just lists the magazine name with it.
@fediversereport @fediversenews @fediverseobserver @tchambers @m_artigiani
@Otome-chan Aha! That’s a smart way of doing it, to bridge the general fediverse content into the threadiverse.
Sounds like kbin is very well thought out as a good Fediverse application while still having its unique experience.
Sounds like nothing should be stopping two zones from pulling in the same hashtag, or pulling in a post with some hashtag followed by each of them.
@tchambers @fediverseobserver @m_artigiani @fediversereport
@Otome-chan
I can confirm that posts aren’t sent to multiple magazines (yet) and it seems like kbin scans to sort only to the first # or @. And if you post to one magazine with tags meant to be picked up by another that other magazine still won’t pick it up.
@fediversereport @fediversenews @fediverseobserver @tchambers @m_artigiani @clacke
@cendawanita I wonder what happens if two magazines have the same tag listed… might be worth trying.

@Otome-chan
Let me have a test… BRB
@fediversereport @fediversenews @fediverseobserver @tchambers @m_artigiani @clacke
@Otome-chan
Ok the answer from my end: no joy
My Malaysian mutuals and I worked out a fedi-specific tag and I tested it on a regional SEAsian mag just set up @magASEAN and my own personal one for my website @myMOAC (which i just set up today).
Idk what’s the order of primacy, i think it’s just by luck of what gets scanned and sorted into - the younger magazine captured it in the microblog but not the regional one. It’s definitely a bug or current limitation. If i can opt to boost to a magazine instead of my own stream that might an acceptable compromise.
@fediversereport @fediversenews @fediverseobserver @tchambers @m_artigiani @clacke
@cendawanita Interesting. for clarification over here on kbin when we make a microblog post we have to choose which magazine to put it in explicitly. it’s just the mastodon ones that get auto-sorted.
