Mod Help - Helping Moderators @kbin.social Gordon_Freeman @kbin.social Is possible to receive notifications every time someone post/microblog something?
I realized there are some microblogs in the magazines I mod, (but since I don't use it I ignore it by default) I know I have to moderate that too, but I don't find the option to receive notifications
In kbin settings I can find these options
New threads (links or articles) in any magazine to which I'm subscribed
New posts in any magazine to which I'm subscribed
There isn't something similar but like this?
New threads (links or articles) in any magazine to which I mod
New posts in any magazine to which I mod

Mod Help - Helping Moderators @kbin.social daredevil @kbin.social Issues with populating microblogs in a given magazine with tags
Does anyone know why federated #microblogs wouldn't show up in a given #magazine? I've added #tags for a magazine I moderate, but posts don't show up with any regularity. However, upon clicking the tag in the magazine description, all sorts of posts with the tag show up.

Mod Help - Helping Moderators @kbin.social patchw3rk @kbin.social How do you communicate with your Mod team?
I'm at a bit of an empass. It was easy to communicate with a single mod but now that we're 3, communication is tough. I thought maybe Microsoft OneNote... but it just doesn't have the privacy and decentralization that's consistent with kbin.
What are your suggestions? how do you guys do it?

Mod Help - Helping Moderators @kbin.social a_mac_and_con @kbin.social Magazine Accidentally Pulling In Posts
In the microblog, I had gotten a couple on topic, but against the rules posts. When asking the poster to fix what was against the rules, I found out they hadn't posted in the magazine at all.
I assume this is what should have happened if I had added anything in tags under the magazine panel. Considering one of the rules of the magazine is "no self-promotion", I decided it would be too much hassle to drag in content from the fediverse like that and left it blank. So this shouldn't have happened, I think.
Can anyone help me figure out how this came to pass?

Mod Help - Helping Moderators @kbin.social Eggyhead @kbin.social How can I better engage with Mastodon from my magazine?
I understand that "articles" do not go to mastodon, but "microblogs" do. There are 3 "posts" (microblogs) in my magazine, but nothing has appeared under the magazine's account on Mastodon. There are apparently 11 followers over there, so I feel bad that they are not getting any content.
Is there a way to share content to Mastodon via my magazine's mastodon profile? Why don't microblog post from Kbin carry over to Mastodon?
Thanks for any help.

I know that moderator functionality are on the To Do list for ernest, but is there even a way to lock a thread at the moment?

Mod Help - Helping Moderators @kbin.social admin @kbin.social A quick guide to creating and moderating magazines
Hello kbin! Since there’s a lot of new users migrating to this platform, I decided to make a short guide to creating and moderating a magazine. This will be a quick and short guide since there will be a lot of new features coming soon. I might make a new guide when a few major tools come, but in the meantime, I will occasionally update this guide when new feature roll out. If I misinterpret something or there’s something that should be here, feel free to comment them and I will update the guide. Thank you.
Explaining magazines
Since @kuontom already explained what a magazine is in his guide, I will just use the explanation they used in their guide. I will only show the basic explanation of magazines, so if you need magazines to be explained more, check out kuontom’s guide.
Magazines are topical forums on kbin, similar to subreddits on Reddit, where users can add threads or microblogs related to the topic. On non-kbin instances, forums m
