Signs of the #RedditMigration in action: Three of the top 6 #Fediverse servers are not only not Mastodon.social but they are not even microblogging servers - but rather are #Threadiverse servers.

That is only seriously good for the entire Fedi infrastructure. Diversity is strength.

@Otome-chan How does this thread get placed in the RedditMigration section? Is it the hashtag?

I'm curious as the original poster is not on kbin and doesn't mention a kbin group or anything.

@clacke yeah, they used the hashtag #RedditMigration, which is the @RedditMigration magazine has listed as one of the tags to "pull in". here on kbin everything is organized based on magazines which are our "subreddits" and they have a threads section (works like reddit) and a "microblogs" section which has an assortment of mastodon posts (and posts from kbin users as well in this section). the magazine moderators can choose which hashtags to have added to there.

I don't know if a post can be sent to multiple magazines, but when I browse the general "all" section for microblogs, all of the top-level mastodon posts all have a category. most of them end up in @random which is essentially for unsorted/uncategorized posts. but some will just have some particular one. I've added a screenshot to show what this looks like. you can see it just lists the magazine name with it.

> magazine has listed as one of the tags to "pull in"

‌@Otome-chan Aha! That's a smart way of doing it, to bridge the general fediverse content into the threadiverse.

Sounds like kbin is very well thought out as a good Fediverse application while still having its unique experience.

> I don't know if a post can be sent to multiple magazines

Sounds like nothing should be stopping two zones from pulling in the same hashtag, or pulling in a post with some hashtag followed by each of them.

@Otome-chan
I can confirm that posts aren't sent to multiple magazines (yet) and it seems like kbin scans to sort only to the first # or @. And if you post to one magazine with tags meant to be picked up by another that other magazine still won't pick it up.
