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.

    I can answer number one. In kbin click on your username at the top right. There will be a header with your comments and threads and stuff. There’s a small set of arrows to scroll that header. Scroll it to the right and you’ll find Subscriptions. That will list the magazines you’re subscribed to.

      yes and even though it’s suuuper unintuitive, the site is still very new, so we can keep it on our list of features to improve

      Awesome, was looking for this too, it’s under Profile. Clicking your username does nothing, but hovering over it brings out a menu, and clicking on Profile, then scrolling right you’ll find the Subscriptions header, which is hidden on my UI so scrolling is needed. Thanks dude.

      Using Firefox on a Windows 11 box in kbin.social: Next to my username is a bulleted list icon. Hovering on that pulls up a list:

      • Subscribed

      • Moderated

      • Favorites

      • All

      Selecting Subscribed brings me to //kbin.social/sub. This seems to be what you want.
