How does microblogging on Lemmy communities work?
I'm guessing it has something to do with mastodon, since microblogging is interoperable with mastodon like how threads are interoperable with lemmy.... #kbin #lemmy #mastodon #communities #magazines #kbinMeta
This FAQ gives a little bit of some details I managed to figure out as it relates to kbin.

I think it's because your post tagged the lemmy community that it showed up.
I wanted to post this here since I want to help as much as I can in my own way to people coming here for the first time. I hope it is useful and helpful! I tried to assume low knowledge with the Fediverse in my responses which I collected here from a different post and assembled into a single article....
Correct. The post was associated with the magazine/community. It was created on kbin inside a magazine so it was associated with the magazine in the same way a Mastodon user could insert the community address in the Mastodon post and have their post show up in the Lemmy instance in the Community area.
What Kbin is doing differently is that it's accepting posts from the wider fediverse which was created on platforms "unaware" of communities or magazines. Lemmy ignores those unless they contain specific community addresses, but kbin doesn't and instead routes those based on hashtags or to the "random" magazine. You can see in the "random" magazine tons of microblog posts which don't seem to be related to anything or stand-alone posts.
