I feel really bad for you, you're spending all this time making this place while I'm blowing off work just to play here. Hope you get a chance to kick up your feet and enjoy the communities you've enabled here soon!
@readbeanicecream I've started @magASEAN (direct link: https://kbin.social/m/magASEAN/) for Southeast Asian stuff across the fediverse (especially) - there's still stuff the tag-scanning doesn't pick up well. But it's also shaping up to a more general interest magazine with a regional bent.
@AngrilyEatingMuffins lmao i was about to ask you to spell it out to me, because that's not my culture so it's not at the forefront of my mind, but i think I see it?? Lolllll rip to all Seans but we're southeast asians 😂
at this point, i really feel happy that i talked you into looking at kbin - now you have already established yourself, so that you can reply the way you did :)
m/AskKbin is entertaining, and there's obviously m/news. I've also subscribed to m/fediverse, to keep up with news specific to that.
And if I'm allowed a little self-promotion, check out m/snowboarding, if you've ever been curious about strapping a piece of wood to your feet and flinging yourself down a mountain xD
On reddit, one of my favorite communities was r/AskMen. However, one of the biggest complaints was that the reddit mods were too lax about allowing women to answer questions, since at that point, it might as well have been r/AskReddit.
So even though, like many magazines from the reddit migration, it's new and short on content for the moment, I'm really happy that it's here and that it's improved.
I look forward to its growth with this much better community of people.
The magazines are growing faster than the content to fill them. I have lost count of the magazines I have gone to subscribe too, only to find no content. Hopefully this will change.
I am trying to stay well clear of magazines that keep mentioning Reddit. Science, sci-fi, mechanical keyboards, retro games, etc... have all been mentioned.
This is the thing I find the most annoying about the Reddit migration. There are a lot of people who just want to create magazines, which are supposed to be the equivalent of subreddits, only for them to be empty and not used.
Magazines should really only be created by someone, who actually wants to post stuff in there.
I created the powerlifting magazine over on lemmy and have been posting into the void there lol. Hopefully some people move over and use it. Otherwise it feels like I'm just using it as a personal blog or something.
yeah the @ tagging seems to be a bit unpredictable, since the same format is used for users and magazines. I imagine this is why lemmy added an exclamation mark at the beginning of their communities lol.
A fair number of the stuff I'm interested in still doesn't exist yet, and I lack the content to start it myself or I would. That said, I'm quite enjoying Plants@kbin.social and I know there's a carnivorous version as well. Might add to 'em myself out of gratitude when I'm less sleepy.
Currently waiting for PhotoshopBattles to get off the ground
There's also @Tardigrades, along the same lines. Was disappointed it wasn't about the animal, but if that's what someone is into I figure people should know about it
The syntax for @ signed magazines seems to be a bit broken, right click the link and press "open in a new tab" to get there, or alternatively use this link: /m/Tardigrades
