Hoping this is correct. Whats a Thread under a magazine, especially vs. a Microblog (kbin.social)

And why must I create a new 'article' to make a thread and not a post - which I think makes a new microblog.

I'm coming from a Mastodon POV, I run my own instance and have a pretty good idea (I think) about how federation works. The way ActivityPub is used is close enough to be familiar but also... not; very uncanny valley.

Additionally, if upvotes are favourites, what are downvotes? and how are they federated?

The boost button bumps the post to the top of the active queue, IIRC
Pinging @Haunting_Tale_5150 too so they see this

And what is the "active queue"?

[–] artillect@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can sort your front page by "top", "hot", "newest", "active", and "commented". Active uses a similar algorithm to hot, but it sorts by most recent activity.
