Moderation changes

Hi there! ^^ It’s good to hear that this magazine gets a second chance to thrive. It was a bit of a bummer to realize that the former/original owner put basically no effort into making the magazine grow, but you seem a lot more active and dedicated. ;)

If you need any ideas, material, art, resources etc. feel free to take anything from !breath_of_the_wild and/or !totk that you want.

As for unsoliced moderator advice: you’re doing great already. Providing an inviting environment, a little bit of advertising, adding content so lurkers will have something to lurk at - that’s a good start right here. And if there’s something you’re unsure about, feel free to ask anytime ^^ (you might need to do it openly tho as PMs between kbin and .world don’t seem to work at the moment - it will look like the message was sent but it will never arrive, and there is no error message on either end)

If there is a place on kbin specifically for advertising new magazines, or something like a community spotlight promoting magazines, it can’t hurt to hit that up as well.

Hi! Thanks for the advice! I'm usually not good at making content, but I'm going to try my best, and we'll see how things turn out. I've got a pretty good backlog of botw screen recordings that I've taken and never posted anywhere, so I might start dipping into that a bit if there's anything good in there.

And thanks for the links as well -- I might need to steal one of those rules from your magazines, since I didn't think of attribution requirements when I was writing the rules here.

Actually, from the kbin end, you can't even write out a dm to somebody on another instance in the first place. Clicking the message button on your profile just brings me back to the home page without giving me a chance to write out any content at all. It's probably better than letting you write out a dm and then not telling you it isn't sent, but it was very confusing the first time I came across it. XD When I asked, Ernest said it's "not implemented" so I'm assuming dms will happen eventually, but they're probably not high on the priority list.

I think I've seen a couple "promote your magazine" magazines and they've all been dead (so, not promising for visibility), but it can't hurt to look again!

@Hikiru Hi, this is just a note to let you know that I've removed you as moderator, since you abandoned the magazine and your accounts are inactive. If you're still interested in being involved with moderation here, I'm happy to discuss it with you.
