He talks out of both sides of his mouth. On the one hand the third party apps are costing them a lot of money. On the other hand, he says that only 3% of users use third party apps. Is that 3% of users the only thing keep them from being profitable?

I'm posting this from kbin, so I don't know if you will see this, but I thought Magazine was a group set up by kbin (like a sub-reddit, with a specific name). Are you saying that a kbin Magazine is something I set up myself with my own collection of content?
I'm thinking about self-hosting an instance, but I'm not clear if these bigger instances would block me because I'm some little unknown server. Would they have to manually give me access to interact (federate?) with them if I self-host? Or would I automatically be able to post on their server?
I'm a new user and I'm a little confused about why I'm receiving a lot of posts in German from reddit.de on the main kbin.social page. I don't remember ever subscribing to anything on that instance. I have some lemmy.world subscriptions mixed with the local kbin magazines, but I checked on lemmy.world and I'm not subscribed to any German content there. Does the default kbin.social site show German content by default?
I had never heard of this and I was really confused how I got a kbin app on my phone. When I got home and tried to "install the app" on my tablet I couldn't figure out how to install it. I searched on the Play Store and couldn't find it. I double checked the app information on my phone's icon and it said "Installed from the Google Play Store", so I was really confused.
Is it difficult to find a small instance that has access to the larger instances? Are you able to post to both Beehaw and lemmy.world from the server you mention?

In Chrome you don't even need to open the developer console. To get a comma separated list, just go to:
https://www.reddit.com/subreddits
Then paste this in the address bar:
javascript:$('body').replaceWith('<body>'+$('.subscription-box').find('li').find('a.title').map((_, d) => $(d).text()).get().join("\",\"")+'</body>');javascript.void()
The trick is that when you first paste it, the leading "javascript:" gets stripped off. So you have to type it in again.
This will give a list in the browser:
javascript:$('body').replaceWith('<body>'+$('.subscription-box').find('li').find('a.title').map((_, d) => $(d).text()).get().join("<br>")+'</body>');javascript.void()
