Do I have this right:

  • Magazine = Category (like a subreddit).
  • Article/Link/Photo/Video = Post in a magazine.
  • Thread = comment within a post.
  • Microblog = Like a tweet (or toot) posted to one profile.

You got it!

Thanks! I wasn't sure if I was understanding it or not. Learning about Federation and kbin jargon was a lot over the course of this week.

It's weird. It doesn't make sense until it does, then it's pretty easy in retrospect. But I guess that's how a lot of shit works lol

To piggyback off this, are boosts the equivalent of Reddit awards?

[–] mmitb@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I think boosts are like retweets. If you boost something it shows up in your feed.

This is a good question! Boosted!

I don't know the answer, but hopefully someone will see it.
