I wonder what microblogging will look like in Artemis. (kbin.social)

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?

I actually shared a screenshot on my mastodon. Here is a preview:

That looks exactly how I hoped for ^^ well done, I like it!

Yay! And it’ll for sure evolve with user feedback. Hope to get the initial version out this weekend 🤞

When the Reddit migration happened, I chose kbin over lemmy because I could centralize everything into a single app, as I expected to abandon Twitter at some point (and it finally happened 2 weeks ago).

The way I see microblogging is just like Twitter. I follow people like I did on Twitter, and I can also see posts from my favorite magazines (which is nice when you start, since it is what brings most of the microblogging content until you follow enough people). I use it through kbin website, eagerly waiting for its support on Artemis :).

My microblogging experience is no where close to what I had on Twitter, but I cannot expect to catch up what I built in ~12 years of Twitter in just a few weeks.But I am pretty sure that with proper support in Artemis, and a good year building a relevant list of folks, I can get to a nice place replacing efficiently what I got from Twitter :).

Yeah, I signed up to Mastodon recently and it made a lot more sense of how the boost function works in relation to microblogging. I can follow my Kbin profile on Mastodon if I want to. I don't, but it's interesting that I could.

But it's great to see from the screenshot how you could microblog from Kbin in its own right. I'm still not sure I fully get it. But I like the idea for sure
