I think it could help keep a steady stream of posts if that’s what people want. I’m not seeing much discussion happening here though

    I’ve been thinking about that as well.
    Perhaps something along the lines of reading a feed from the Mangadex API

    However, although I’d like the “Manga” magazine to grow, I do feel like I’m a bit stuck in the Reddit mindset.
    Part of the appeal of being a “Federated” instance is that you can get content from anywhere, regardless what instance is the origin.
    So, it shouldn’t matter if I go to the manga “magazine” or get the feed from elsewhere.
    This is very much at odds with how I previously consumed content though.

    Unlike Twitter where you follow a hashtag, Reddit taught me I should go to sub-communities if I want to follow discussion.

    So should we just neglect magazines and simply comment under individual posts found under a #hashstag or drag Reddit’s style of browsing into Fediverse?

    In any case, as far as I know the Kbin API doesn’t yet support a bot that’d post like that.
    You could, however, simply make a bot that uses the UI (using JS to fill out fields) to post things.
    It’d break the moment it faces something like Cloudflare or any other anti-bot measure, though.

      I thought about it some more after making a Lemmy account. While Kbin API isn’t finalized, couldn’t we make a Manga-Lemmy to post here? As far as I know, Lemmy’s API is more mature.

          I admittedly don’t either, but I’m near a part in my course that works with API. I should be able to do something in the coming days. I took a look and it seems like Lemmy has all the API I need for this, too. I’m hopeful.

    I looked at the KBin docs a few days ago, and didn’t see any way to post information. There’s ways to get info, but that was about it. If it changes, I’ll look into it. Not having a bot is bugging me, too. The one on Reddit does a lot of leg work during the week.
