      It’s essentially (in simplified terms) a Mastodon client.
      There’s really no reddit equivalent, but if you pretend reddit and twitter had the same web interface, you’d get close to that “Threads” and “Microblog” are.

        I understand the concept, but not the purpose. Why would I post something to a microblog when I can post a thread? Or I guess if I was more twitter-savvy, why would I create a thread when I can post something to a microblog?

          Maybe you wouldn’t. But this being the fediverse I can follow all the communities/magazines from other services, like Mastodon, Pixelfeed or Peertube (fediverse equivalents for Twitter, Instagram and Youtube). I can post to these communities/magazines from those apps as well. Those posts will end up as Microblogs.

            I am finding that is kind of broken. I mean, if I follow a Lemmy community “News” I can see all the posts in my Mastodon home feed, but I also see all the inane comments and boosts (out of context), so it is actually a terrible thing to add to my home feed. I can see all the magazines to which I am subscribed in kbin, but I cannot see a feed of the latest content in just those magazines - so that is also not a very attractive (to me) way to see the kbin content. I am not going back to reddit, so I feel much like a man without a country at this point.

        Closest would actually not be Twitter but the /comments after a subreddit. There used to be a tab for it, but they’ve hidden it. It’s just basically all comments posted in a sub.

        Granted microblog is just all comments in that microblog area but it’s the closest thing to it.

          Yeah Twitter was probably bad analogy. Fediverse just has so many ways to post, it’s hard to make direct comparison to something monolithic like Reddit.

            I mean, you weren’t wrong. I can post (Tweet) on my Mastodon and if the tags are being followed by a magazine then that post will show up under it’s Microblogs section.

              Interesting. I have tried this but it doesn’t work for me, though it must work somehow since there is one microblog post showing up [from someone else]. I used tags in my mastodon post that are set on my magazine and I don’t see it.

                It’s still limited by the rules of federation. Kbin.social needs to be aware of your post somehow. Easiest way to to that is to have your KBin account follow your Mastodon one.

      It’s basically the fediverse version of twitter.

      Imagine a twitter feed… That’s the microblogs.

      When the twitter userbase split after Musk brought down the banhammer and fascism, people went to mastodon, a fediverse version of twitter, just like this is a fediverse version of Reddit/forums.

      Microblogs are where you’d see mastodon content, for example.

      But you can also use them directly without using mastodon too, as they’re also a native thing here.
