Dumb Questions From A Noob (kbin.social)

First of all, I don't even know if this is the place to ask, but I couldn't find anywhere else that made sense...

Second, Kbin looks amazing, definitely the best out of the fediverse, however there are still things I cannot for the life of me find in the UI.

Where can I see a list of the magazines I'm subscribed to? A list, not posts from.
Why do the thumbnails for posts appear distorted? The have incorrect aspect ratio. Is there a way to fix this?
Where can I see a list of local communities?
How is microblogging handled differently from other types of posts? Do they all show up on the home page?

EDIT: #5 I don't seem to get any notifications of any sort, visual or otherwise, that I have received responses to a post or comment. Is this the way it's supposed to be?

I have many more, but any help with those for now would be amazing.

Hi, moderator of m/quickstart here.

They are not dumb questions which is why I had started this community. And as a matter of fact I had already posted regarding some of your questions.

Where can I see a list of the magazines I'm subscribed to? A list, not posts from.

Sorry I don't know yet.

Where can I see a list of local communities?

Disable federation then view the list of magazines.

How is microblogging handled differently from other types of posts? Do they all show up on the home page?

As far as I know it's only if the user selects 'microblog' from the homepage.

Answered here: How to get notified when someone replies to your thread or comment

Edit: tested something and it didn't work as expected.

Thanks friend! I'm adding more guides as we speak!
