From what I know, articles are what we would think of as a reddit post. Naming conventions, and all. They are the things you read in magazines. Posts seem to go automatically under the microblogging section. So they're very much like a collection of tweets/blog posts aimed at a specific magazine.
Therefore if it's something important you want people to see, like a news article, something to fuel discussion, etc., I feel like doing it as an article would definitely be better. Doing it as a post is basically tweeting about it. Someone will probably see it, but most may miss it
@Nepenthe I think on #kbin as it looks right now a microblog post could be easily missed if the magazine is very active but the thing is that when federation works they could also go on all the federated microblogging instances and on the home of the followers. This way they could get "points" from favs and boosts and be more visible here as well.
They could also be useful to comment realtime events, even though this will probably be a problem for the rest of the fediverse because here you don't need to put an hashtag and it's not easy for people to selectively mute them so they would probably mute the user.
