So, this is coming from a reddit user. I don’t really understand the microblog button and how/what kind of content it gives you and how it’s organized. Can some one give a brief summation.

    The other way around is supposed to work but is currently broken.

    Bear in mind that kbin.social (the first general-purpose English-language Kbin instance) was created in… May 2023. Our Benevolent God Ernest has only been working on Kbin seriously since January 2023.

    When I joined in June, it was mostly Ernest talking to himself, with a few other randos from Lemmy who were curious about this not-Lemmy thing. A couple weeks before I joined, Ernest was in here completely alone. Getting 100k people randomly show up a month after he released the first public alpha wasn’t exactly in the cards, I don’t think - so he’s been putting out fires that come with “oh shit my little toy project now has thousands of people using it overnight”.

      And here I thought the whole point of being a benevolent god was omnipotence. ;-)

      Thanks for clarifying. I wasn’t sure if that functionality just isn’t working yet (but now I’m confident that it will work down the line) or not an intended feature at all.

        “Omni” for a certain definition of “omni” after all.

        At a certain point you have to expect that he chooses to do it. After all, in Genesis (lmao autocorrect tried to suggest “Genshin Impact”) creating the world took God 7 days (well, 6 days + 1 day to rest and admire). Surely someone omnipotent could’ve done it quicker - so it’s either that or he simply chooses to take longer. ;)
