@Andjhostet The microblog section of the /m/Random magazine is where anything without a hashtag gets filtered into.
Kbin handles Mastodon data kinda oddly. Basically, each Magazine on Kbin doubles as a hashtag filter for Mastodon posts. So /m/Tech will show any Mastodon posts with the #tech hashtag in it. And if you post to the /m/Tech microblog section from Kbin, that will basically add a “hidden” #tech hashtag to your Mastodon post (so I believe it’ll still show up for Mastodon users who search for the #tech hashtag, since it’s in the metadata of the post).
This basically makes /m/Random’s microblog section the “Global” Mastodon feed for our instance. Because of that, it’s basically everything all dumped into one place. Including the porn.
I’ll be honest, why does anyone even go on the random channel? It was like the first thing I blocked when joining Kbin. It’s just spam and memes.
