So, this is coming from a reddit user. I don't really understand the microblog button and how/what kind of content it gives you and how it's organized. Can some one give a brief summation.

users don't have a personal "microblog", every time you make a microblog post here on kbin you're forced to pick a magazine (you can pick /m/random if you don't want to pick).

Ahhh, okay, that's what I was missing. I saw that one could create a post while looking at one's profile, but has never actually done it.

Thank you for the excellent explanation!

Yup. so while mastodon users do see it like that, we don't see it like that here on kbin. you can follow people here and see their microblog posts on any magazine in your microblogs feed, but kbin forces kbin users to pick a magazine (even if it's the uncategorized /m/random) when posting a microblog post; whereas this isn't a requirement for mastodon users.
