And why must I create a new ‘article’ to make a thread and not a post - which I think makes a new microblog.
I’m coming from a Mastodon POV, I run my own instance and have a pretty good idea (I think) about how federation works. The way ActivityPub is used is close enough to be familiar but also… not; very uncanny valley.
Additionally, if upvotes are favourites, what are downvotes? and how are they federated?
I’m trying to understand this comment, but i can’t get my head around it. Unfortunately I find the reddit vs fediverse table (is it that?) actually more a hindrance than help. It doesn’t format, at least where I’m looking from (kbin.social on web) so I don’t really understand what it’s trying to communicate.
It would really help if you could describe what this hierarchy is. It doesn’t even need to be compared to reddit - just a clear explanation. Or of course a link to something that describes it plainly to those who are new to it. Thank you!
Kinda ditto. I just created a magazine, went to create content and wasn’t sure whether to add an article or a post—and whether it mattered. Somehow what I posted showed up as a microblog.
