Microblogs are an interesting thing. I was never able to get into Twitter or Mastodon because it feels so disorganized and chaotic to me. That said, I think microblog compatibility is low key one of Kbin’s best features with a lot of potential. The problem is that right now it seems like kbin doesn’t really know what to do with it.

This is where I wonder if a dedicated Kbin app like Artemis could really carry it further. Has there been any discussion on this yet? How would you imagine microblogs being better implemented with Artemis?

    It was a matter of get-used-to for me. Having subscriptions and the possibility to either place a thread or just a quick post was for me a feature I didn‘t know I wished for. I just need to look after microblogs the same way I look at threads… and therefore I hope that the implementation in Artemis will be likewise to Threads but still having it split one from another - pretty much how kbin has it on its own already

      Yeah, I’m still not sure that I’m very used to how kbin handoes microbloging or not. It seems like an interesting concept to combine both ways of posting, but hopefully it’ll be a little more flushed out soon.
