I'm still pretty new to the game. I've tried two of the expeditions—Utopia this month and I believe Singularity earlier this year—but didn't make it very far through either (via a combination of not starting them early enough and, for Singularity, barely knowing how to play the game). I don't have a lot of time over the holiday this year and I'm still trying to decide if I should attempt Cartographer or not. I probably wouldn't be able to start it until after Christmas if I do—is it doable in just a few days?

I've been making figurines of Link and Zelda from BOTW! They're currently waiting to be re-fired. If all goes well, they'll be Christmas presents for family members.

I didn't get a picture of Zelda's figurine, so it's just Link here, but I'm going to post photos of both of them once they come out of the kiln.

Hello, visitors! The original owner @Hikiru abandoned the magazine several months ago, and I've since requested ownership. I'm not sure if I'll be the permanent owner, but I'll do my best to grow the community while I'm here.

Rules:
The rules have been condensed and reformatted, but the content is the same for now: keep content sfw, high-quality, on-topic, and respectful to everybody.

Edit: I've taken a leaf out of the lemmy.world botw communities and added a new rule requiring proper attribution for content, as well.

Magazine Customization:
If you're viewing from kbin.social, I've added a background image and moved the previous map-like background design (one of the kbin defaults) to the sidebar. I'd love to hear more customization ideas!

Moderation:
I'm also looking for moderation help, preferably from somebody who has experience with either moderating or growing a community (I'll do the best I can, but I have no experience with either of those things myself). If you fit that description and are interested in helping expand the community, send me a message.

New magazine background!

I'm trying to contact a user on lemmy, but can't dm them (it's not clear to me if this is a bug or if dms don't work across instances or software, but either way it's not working). My next workaround would be to ping them in a microblog post, but lemmy doesn't have a microblog section. Would a lemmy user receive a notification about and be able to view a kbin microblog post in which they're mentioned?

I'm just starting to move over to thunderbird and don't fully understand the differences between tags and folders or why both exist. I'm using gmail at the moment, and am aware that thunderbird's folders are what correspond to gmail's labels. Is there any point to using tags at all? Practical differences/benefits in the way they present themselves as compared to emails sorted into folders? Any use case for both tags and folders concurrently?

I have never used twitter and am not on mastodon. I'm subscribed to a few magazines that have microblog posts, though, and I've noticed that 1) all of said posts have hashtags, 2) most of them are coming from mastodon, and 3) I'm starting to get the sense that from the mastodon side they're not actually associated with the kbin magazine.

If I, a kbin user, make a microblog post, is it actually associated with the magazine I posted it to or is it just linked to it via hashtags? Would I have to add the hashtag myself to actually post to the magazine? If microblogs are subscriptions to hashtags rather than to magazines, is it possible to subscribe to a hashtag without a corresponding magazine?
