Wth is this microblog I'm seeing under threads?
It's essentially (in simplified terms) a Mastodon client.
There's really no reddit equivalent, but if you pretend reddit and twitter had the same web interface, you'd get close to that "Threads" and "Microblog" are.
Closest would actually not be Twitter but the /comments after a subreddit. There used to be a tab for it, but they've hidden it. It's just basically all comments posted in a sub.
Granted microblog is just all comments in that microblog area but it's the closest thing to it.
Yeah Twitter was probably bad analogy. Fediverse just has so many ways to post, it's hard to make direct comparison to something monolithic like Reddit.
I mean, you weren't wrong. I can post (Tweet) on my Mastodon and if the tags are being followed by a magazine then that post will show up under it's Microblogs section.
Interesting. I have tried this but it doesn't work for me, though it must work somehow since there is one microblog post showing up [from someone else]. I used tags in my mastodon post that are set on my magazine and I don't see it.
It's still limited by the rules of federation. Kbin.social needs to be aware of your post somehow. Easiest way to to that is to have your KBin account follow your Mastodon one.
