Kbin actually does let you look at and browse microblogs as well as threads.

I try to use hashtags for topics specific to my comment and not already covered by the thread, the comment(s) I’m replying to or the magazine in general since people know they can look under that thread to find more of that topic anyways. Now admittedly, I may not be that consistent with this and might make some tags that fall a bit outside the topic but that’s at least my goal. I wasn’t using Twitter that much before my Reddit migration and I first started using hashtags with Kbin so I’m not sure how exactly they should be used.

Actually, I’m quite fond of this #account-#channel formation. It lets people have different channels for different content. Like how some YouTubers have a main channel and a second channel with low quality videos or how some streamers have a VODs channel.

Oh, I just use #hashtags on my posts to make them easily #searchable. So someone looking to see what people are saying about collections can search “#collections” and find my post.

Well, after messing around a little, Kbin seems to be able to do both. I can #follow your PeerTube #user or #subscribe to your #channel. Interestingly, PeerTube seems to allow you to create multiple channels under a username which is kinda similar to Kbin’s #collections or Mastodon’s #lists.

Yeah, I just wanted to specify it isn’t a mass comment kind of thing.

Yeah, I believe Ernest had some serious irl issues come up and had to take a step back from development, which slowed progress down massively. But ever since he got back, he’s been working really hard to #fix the major #issues and make the instance easier to use.

#Kbin has a #feature to kind of deal with this called #collections. Instead of subscribing to all #magazines of a same type or even name, you can put them in a collection (or find a collection where somebody already did that) and then favorite that collection see all of those magazines in your feed. Splitting up the discussion is still not ideal but at least this lets you see all of it at once and increases #discoverability.

#Kbin actually handles this really well. Whenever it detects 2 of the same #thread (at least that’s how I think it works), it’ll group them and only show one of the threads on your feed. If you click on it, right under the thread will be the other #cross-posted threads on other magazines, each of which has its own upvote/downvote and comment count. You can click on any of those threads to switch to a certain magazine’s thread and see the #comments there. Also, when you comment, it only goes to the thread you currently have open.

Can you actually #access PeerTube #content from other #instances? As a Kbin user, I can see both Lemmy threads and Mastodon microblogs and I know Mastodon users can tag Lemmy (and maybe also Kbin) magazines to make threads there. Is there a way to interact with PeerTube like that?

Yeah, I already knew about collections. I don’t think you can make one with #users though. Definitely an interesting #feature.

I’ve never heard of #lists. Can you #explain how I can use them?

I’d highly recommend it. The dev has been on an #improvement rampage lately. The future of the project seems bright.

I think the #boost #feature also helps with this.

I’m not sure but signing away any moral rights seems so dystopian.

From what I understand, the copyright is exclusively Reddit’s.

Nobody in this thread seems to have mentioned #Kbin. It’s an instance that aims to combine the #microblog structure of instances like Mastodon with the thread structure of instances like Lemmy.

Yeah but mail isn’t perfectly defining services either since last I checked FedEx didn’t let you share links.

Isn’t that more akin to instances having “social” in their name?

Could you maybe give users the ability to exclude certain communities/hashtags? Some hashtags associated with communities like #fediverse seem to be overused to the point that following it barely filters content.
