@Otome-chan@kbin.social Alright, thanks, I have noticed posts from Mastodon showing up here. What I still don't understand: How do posts from the fediverse get sorted into Magazines on kbin? And what is the difference between articles/threads and microblog posts, in terms of the ActivityPub protocol?

It apparently requires some kind of proprietary operating environment to function, thus making it compatible with free (as in freedom) computing. You would need either a proprietary library/OS or an open OS but a proprietary piece of vendor hardware to act as the attester.
