Wth is this microblog I’m seeing under threads?
It’s essentially (in simplified terms) a Mastodon client.
There’s really no reddit equivalent, but if you pretend reddit and twitter had the same web interface, you’d get close to that “Threads” and “Microblog” are.
I understand the concept, but not the purpose. Why would I post something to a microblog when I can post a thread? Or I guess if I was more twitter-savvy, why would I create a thread when I can post something to a microblog?
Why would you post something to twitter when you can just post it to Reddit?
Same answer.
Closest would actually not be Twitter but the /comments after a subreddit. There used to be a tab for it, but they’ve hidden it. It’s just basically all comments posted in a sub.
Granted microblog is just all comments in that microblog area but it’s the closest thing to it.
Yeah Twitter was probably bad analogy. Fediverse just has so many ways to post, it’s hard to make direct comparison to something monolithic like Reddit.
I mean, you weren’t wrong. I can post (Tweet) on my Mastodon and if the tags are being followed by a magazine then that post will show up under it’s Microblogs section.
It’s basically the fediverse version of twitter.
Imagine a twitter feed… That’s the microblogs.
When the twitter userbase split after Musk brought down the banhammer and fascism, people went to mastodon, a fediverse version of twitter, just like this is a fediverse version of Reddit/forums.
Microblogs are where you’d see mastodon content, for example.
But you can also use them directly without using mastodon too, as they’re also a native thing here.
