Does anyone have any advice on whether to use #threads or #microblogs when you're looking to say, start a discussion about a topic on #kbin? Is there an etiquette for what option is best? Or do people just pick depending on their mood (having a Twitter vs a Reddit sort of a day)?
@NudelnAlDente Not sure there's really any set ways, but I'd personally use a microblog with hashtags if I wanted some reach beyond kbin or the community I'm posting to. That said, it seems like folks on kbin might favor threads in general, perhaps because it's most similar the posts on Reddit where many of us have come from.
A thread is a Reddit equivalent and a microblog is a Twitter equivalent. So it really depends if you’re trying to start a discussion or just want to put something out there in my opinion
Oooh... The hashtag interaction in Magazines is an interesting feature! Must say I never paid much attention to hashtags in Twitter when I used it but Mastodon's ability to follow them is great & this sounds similarly cool.
Where has the fediverse been the entire time I've been struggling with web 2.0? 😂
@NudelnAlDente If you just want to put something out there, microblog is a good option. If you want a discussion, starting a thread is the better choice.
If you want a twitter like experience where everything is just talking and people responding use post on kbin just like twitter. If you want threads where people upvote and downvote like Reddit use threads. Some people like Some people like both that’s why they have a kbin account. I’m only using lemmy more often cause of the wider selection of third party apps, my home is kbin thought!
