First of all, I don't even know if this is the place to ask, but I couldn't find anywhere else that made sense...

Second, Kbin looks amazing, definitely the best out of the fediverse, however there are still things I cannot for the life of me find in the UI.

  1. Where can I see a list of the magazines I'm subscribed to? A list, not posts from.
  2. Why do the thumbnails for posts appear distorted? The have incorrect aspect ratio. Is there a way to fix this?
  3. Where can I see a list of local communities?
  4. How is microblogging handled differently from other types of posts? Do they all show up on the home page?

EDIT: #5 I don't seem to get any notifications of any sort, visual or otherwise, that I have received responses to a post or comment. Is this the way it's supposed to be?

I have many more, but any help with those for now would be amazing.

That's a kbin limitation -- lemmy doesn't hit that, and I don't believe that it can be fixed (well, by flipping a setting) at the moment, though I suspect that it's not hard to fix and probably will see a patch from someone sooner-or-later, as I agree with you that it's pretty visible.

Skimming the list of PRs (pull requests, patches currently waiting for the kbin developer to review them and add them), I do see this:
