  1. Still trying to wrap my head around exactly how the fediverse works. I understand it is decentralized. Are kbin and lemmy somehow intermingled? Meaning am I able to view lemmy content here on kbin and interact with it without having to create an account on beehaw or whatever?

  2. What exactly is the difference between the upvote (and downvote) button and boost? Is boost just upvote but moreso?

  3. Is there a "save" function like reddit had, where you can bookmark posts to your profile?

  4. Is there an android app(s) for kbin?

  5. What are tags and badges? I just left them blank for this post.

  6. Is there anything else that I'm not asking that I should know?

  7. Are the answers to any of this in the FAQ and am I fucking up by not reading it?

Thanks all.

I can't even work out how to subscribe to magazines. 😐

If you're on mobile scroll right down to the bottom of the post you are reading and you will see options to subscribe to the magazine. Hope that's useful

Very useful. Thanks! I'd have never have seen it!

At the very bottom of the page there's a subscribe button for any magazine you're currently on.

Thanks so much. It's obvious when you know it's there. 😢

I was looking for some kind of side-menu (maybe with a "+" sign) around the top of my screen.

I've got it now. Thanks so much! ☺️

Is that the only way to subscribe? Seems there should be a way to subscribe at the top or at least fast scroll down to the subscribe button. Irritating for a new user but I guess it doesn't matter much once you are subscribed to your interests.

I also have a problem where the right of posts is cut off my screen in profile mode. Is this meant to only be viewed in landscape?

I'm on Firefox for android but if I click on a magazine link, and then the little hamburger lines at the top left of the screen it takes me to a sidebar where it has the title of the magazine and the icon and a subscribe button.
