Are Tom Bihn bags buy it for life, or has the quality dipped in recent years?

How did you deal with abusive/neglectful family members when their health started to deteriorate and they needed help?

Xepp, (edited ) to RedditMigration

Trying to migrate to kbin, but have several small questions after using it for some minutes now.
Can anyone please expain how to ask simple questions within this magazine, like:

How can I ask questions here without posting a new link, photo, article or video?

Questions like:

  • How can I add magazines to my favourites?
  • How can I search a specific magazine (like RedditMigration for those quesions I have...)?

Finally:

  • Is there a more extensive user guide than kbin's user guide on Github?

Xepp,

@chris

Thanks! I still see "Add new article" on kbin.social and on fedia.io it is "thread" as you said.

All of the options in + except making a new magazine is creating a thread. The "Add new article" is equal to making a text thread.

You should be able to find some useful guides or info if you click "top" on the homepage, or go to /m/kbinMeta and click top to find some useful guides. Out of those this one should be a pretty helpful start.

I don't think there is currently a way to favourite magazines but you can subscribe to them by clicking the button on the side bar.

Why is my phone screen's orientation failing to stay locked and how do I fix it?

I have a Samsung Galaxy A71 5G. This usually only happens a few times a week, but my phone seems to be very confused by kbin. I have to hold it vertically or it will switch to landscape orientation every single time. It's annoying. Any ideas?

Thank you all in advance!

@HotDogFingies on kbin specifically (if you're using the progressive web app PWA) it currently bypasses your phones landscape or portrait lock. Even on my phone with Android 13, if I've switched off auto rotation and rotate the site it still rotates

That's apparently a bug that's going to be fixed at some point.

@AnonymousLlama Thank you so much. That's extremely helpful.

Can anyone explain to me what a Microblog is and how is it different from a thread? Are they similar to what a Toot is on Mastodon?

anteaters,

Microblogging is the name for things like Twitter. You "blog" only small texts like the famous 160 characters of Twitter. A tweet or toot would be called micropost or just "status update". On microblogs you usually don't have threads but replies to a post. These replies and the initial post effectively form a thread but all the replies are also separate posts by the user.

ono,

Microblogging is tweeting, or tooting, or similar. Very short messages, usually from one person and directed to whomever happens to notice them.

A thread is a collection of comments from people replying to one another, usually organized in a tree structure. It’s more like a conversation.

Google thinks its new Perspectives tab will finally get you to stop adding 'Reddit' to searches (www.androidpolice.com)

While the technology shows promise, early testers have found that it falls short of a well-known search trick: adding "reddit" to the end of queries. Instead of directing readers to sites targeting SEO traffic, this straightforward technique draws on the knowledge of Reddit's community to provide actual help from forum...
