Agreed, although I must say the quality of the commentary here is far and above what I’ve seen on other social media, and I’d like that trend to continue.

I want to note that the value of Kbin increases exponentially as you engage and follow each other, and that Boosting can be particularly effective in bringing in more engagement from the Mastodon world.

Also (not sure if this is a bug @ernest), you should know how to get around the magazine filter in the drop-down on your threads and links submission page. If you click when in a kbin magazine or default kbin screen, the menu will only allow you to submit to kbin.social magazines on the instance, not any off-instance communities.

To get around this, go to the off-instance magazine you want to submit to, and it will auto-populate the correct target community on the other instance.

While I know that most of us are focused on expanding kbin.social in particular, spreading the load helps the servers and widens your audience, as well as potential followers, which draws them back to kbin.

I’d like to encourage more upvoting and boosting too! I like leaving comments, but I know not everyone does. The points from upvoting themselves don’t mean anything, but it lets me know if my post is appreciated or if someone else’s post is worth reading past the headline.

I think it’s quality not quantity. I’d rather be in a sub community where a post is made once a week but a really good conversation comes out of it than in a situation where things are being posted for the sake of posting anything.

I feel a bit guilty about this as I comment on a lot of useless stuff but I follow a guy who posts great articles but I generally don’t have much to say as the articles are that good. I end up posting something maybe every half dozen articles but they are all great.
