I can see you’re on kbin, which as far as I have heard is unique in that it tries to unify lemmy and mastodon content. I’m unsure if that’s a good idea, I’m not sure how you’re meant to reconcile thread based link aggregation with microblogging feeds. Here on sh.itjust.works I have a set of options at the top of my feed that make it very easy to only see the content I’ve subscribed to. I’m honestly shocked to hear that it’s not so simple for you on your instance.
Yes, that’s because lemmy.world does not attempt to include mastodon content, as far as I know. From what I can tell, kbin is trying to be one website that works like reddit and twitter at the same time, which is going to be a bit complicated at best.
Sorry, at this point you’re talking about things I don’t understand. The nomenclature I’m familiar with is “instances” and “communities”. I don’t know what a magazine, multiple, or subgroup refers to in this context.
I wouldn’t call myself non-tech per se, but the shifting terminology conflicts with my attempts to be precise. As a new user of the fediverse it’s become kinda clear that kbin has some of its own culture going on, since things are a little more established over there. When you mentioned multiples or subgroups, I assumed that was analogous to multireddits in some way, which isn’t something I’ve seen implemented yet.
