Hi, as a new Kbin/Mbin user, I have some questions regarding its use. I hope you can help me out.

  1. Can searches be made more specific? On Lemmy, you could define whether you wanted to search for communities/magazines, threads, comments, users and urls. Furthermore, you could search in only a specified community or posts made by a specified user. Lastly, you can change the result order (newest/controversial/oldest).

  2. To send toots/tweets, do I have to specify a magazine? I seem to be unable to send a toot without specifying a magazine first, although I only try to adress a mastodon user directly.

  3. Is this even the right magazine to ask these questions in? Is there a dedicated kbin support magazine?

  4. On Lemmy, users can send each others direct messages. It seems like Kbin/Mbin has no way of displaying those direct messages. Is that correct or is there a way to show direct messages?

    Unclassified microblogs (e.g. from Mastodon users) usually end up in random, but I’m not sure how to post them intentionally since I don’t use the microblog feature much. Hopefully someone else can chime in with an answer for this.

    I can answer this, go to your own profile, choose add new post (not thread) and then from the “select a magazine” dropdown choose random. Then just use your @ tag like normal if you want to @ someone in the fediverse.
