      @Otome-chan How does this thread get placed in the RedditMigration section? Is it the hashtag?

      I’m curious as the original poster is not on kbin and doesn’t mention a kbin group or anything.

        @clacke yeah, they used the hashtag #RedditMigration, which is the @RedditMigration magazine has listed as one of the tags to “pull in”. here on kbin everything is organized based on magazines which are our “subreddits” and they have a threads section (works like reddit) and a “microblogs” section which has an assortment of mastodon posts (and posts from kbin users as well in this section). the magazine moderators can choose which hashtags to have added to there.

        I don’t know if a post can be sent to multiple magazines, but when I browse the general “all” section for microblogs, all of the top-level mastodon posts all have a category. most of them end up in @random which is essentially for unsorted/uncategorized posts. but some will just have some particular one. I’ve added a screenshot to show what this looks like. you can see it just lists the magazine name with it.
