I like that kbin is smaller compared to some lemmy instances. I also prefer the UI. Bigger communities tend to feel a bit overwhelming for me. I also appreciate how transparent Ernest has been regarding kbin's development. That said, it's been a bit challenging to figure out how to utilize some of the federation features that kbin has to offer--microblogging in particular. From what I've seen, people don't generally seem too interested in this feature, but I think it's nice to have.

I think - and please correct me if I'm wrong - that if you add items to the keyword box when creating a post/adding a link, your item shows up to mastadon users who follow that hashtag. I know that mastodon users occasionally interact with my links, and AFAIK that doesn't happen with Lemmy posts.

I appreciate the suggestion, however, I generally do as you suggested for other posts that I want to increase discoverability for. I also have issues when trying to bring in content from the rest of the fediverse into a particular magazine via tags. That said, I don't want to make this a troubleshooting thread as this isn't the intended magazine for that.
