They are more of a concept coming from mastdodon type of posts.
But currently there are no lists or possibilities to subscribe to them here.
So you/we can use them and navigate but with certain limitations.
For my liking kbin is lacking lists so that not all follows have to be seen mixed in a single place.
In such lists if they existed it would be awesome that there could be subscriptions to both communities and tags.
True, but I think they make it easier to find posts originating here on kbin using say Mastodon.
There is also a difference between Posts and Articles here which I haven't fully fathomed - I think perhaps articles are more Mastodon compatible, while posts are more aligned with Lemmy... But hopefully somebody more enlightened will provide more detail and/or correct me there!
Other way around! Articles are the reddit/lemmy like content while posts are what go to the microblog and are the mastodon/Twitter like content.
In some cases, literally mastodon content. If you are on mastadon and you put @magazine@instance in your post, it shows up on that magazines microblog, on kbin, at least.
I think articles can also be read on Mastodon though, while other types of threads like url/image/... don't show up there.
Hm yeah seems so, so an article can be read on kbin, lemmy, and mastodon... while a post will be in kbin microblog and mastodon but not lemmy? And the other threads are on lemmy too
