@politics on kbin.social is a magazine to share and discuss current events news, opinion/analysis, videos, or other informative content related to politicians, politics, or policy-making at all levels of governance (federal, state, local), both domestic and international. Members of all political perspectives are welcome here, though we run a tight ship. Community guidelines and submission rules were co-created between the Mod Team and early members of @politics. Please read all community guidelines and submission rules carefully before engaging our magazine.

Gotcha, thanks! I'm still learning how all these different federated platforms work together / what features work where, etc.

I'm glad you asked this question, especially as a federated user. It draws attention for me that not all of the instances may have coding for badges, so even though I had hoped we could one day employ badges here on kbin.social, I'm realizing that we can't make that a submission rule if federated users don't even have that option.

Also, it will depend on how you're accessing the magazine (which is what all kbin instances call communities), as to whether the sidebar is viewable. I can only think of describing how to access the sidebar if you're another kbin.social user accessing from mobile.

These are realistic barriers to future plans I had wanted to roll out, so thanks for asking this question and shedding light on it for me.

Tagging @Drusas if they'd like to weigh in.
