Sorry I should have been clearer. I can select a file and then post the image. I did it on this post. Just don't bother clicking upload file and go straight to Add comment.

Edit: I just posted a screenshot to m/quickstart

File path selection works for me on android.

I have heard a request to make these default has been accepted so it's in the works.

In the meantime if anyone want to know to turn them on, head over to my post on m/quickstart.

As far as I can tell a comment is a response to a thread. A post is a microblog entry and a reply is a response to a post.

Interesting. I got a notification for your comment. But then again I do have federation turned off.

EDIT2: also NOTIFICATION?! like there is no indication when i go to kbin that this post has any interaction. I have to manually go to the post.

Hi, moderator of m/quickstart here.

Here's how to get notified when someone replies to your thread or comment.

Hi, moderator of m/quickstart here.

They are not dumb questions which is why I had started this community. And as a matter of fact I had already posted regarding some of your questions.

Where can I see a list of the magazines I'm subscribed to? A list, not posts from.

Answered here: How to see a list of all the magazines you are subscribed to

Why do the thumbnails for posts appear distorted? The have incorrect aspect ratio. Is there a way to fix this?

Sorry I don't know yet.

Where can I see a list of local communities?

Disable federation then view the list of magazines.

How is microblogging handled differently from other types of posts? Do they all show up on the home page?

As far as I know it's only if the user selects 'microblog' from the homepage.

EDIT: #5 I don't seem to get any notifications of any sort, visual or otherwise, that I have received responses to a post or comment. Is this the way it's supposed to be?

Edit: tested something and it didn't work as expected.

OK I think the reason you have to scroll down more is because you may have been viewing a specific comment at the time.

When you go to the actual 'homepage' of the magazine you don't have to scroll past the user information.

Thank you and I appreciate the write up but I had actually already blacklisted a few domains.

Unfortunately that did not prevent the post from appearing in m/random because it was from a domain that I had not already blacklisted.

I simply do not want to have to act reactively once I have already been exposed to the vile content. At that point my experience is already ruined whether I block it afterwards or not.

Another reasonable approach might be to block m/random which I might consider doing if I am tempted to enable federation again, but for now I'm just going to play it safe and stick to kbin.social.

Funny you should say that because created a magazine this morning for this exact reason!

It's called m/quickstart and it's intended to get new users up an running as quickly as possible. Don't expect too much there's literally 2 subscribers and it's basically just me posting mobile screenshots on the microblog with the tag #quickstart.
