  • I’ve discovered that my brain will only accept certain content certain ways. If I’m really into a fun book, then text is perfect. If it’s any kind of “literature” or non-fiction, I need to listen to it at the fastest setting my brain can absorb (usually 2x speed) while doing things that would otherwise not be fun (unloading the dishwasher, cleaning, doing laundry, whatever). And I pay attention to my emotional reactions to stuff. If something is too heavy to be fun (or to handle in general), I don’t make myself go back to it. I evaluate whether I want to continue. I have more than 1,000 books on my Libby wishlist, so I feel no guilt about moving on to the next thing.





  • Sure, this talks briefly about tags. I’m trying to find the guide for new users that was written early this week, but can’t at the moment. I believe it talked more about them. When posting on kbin, add tags to the tags field. Try to make them relevant and likely that someone has set their magazine or other instance community to look for it.

    Edit: This is also how Related Magazines and Related Threads are pulled into the sidebar within magazines.

    Edit 2: There’s also /m/gettingstarted but they don’t have a ton of stuff there, though they do link to that FAQ above.

    Edit 3: To see if a tag will work for your purposes this is the link: https://kbin.social/tag/food where you replace “food” with whatever your tag is. This lets you see where people are posting about that as well as what kind of content will pull into your magazine if you use that tag in your magazine settings.
