Looking to add more local magazines. Any recommendations on kbin magazines?
I don’t know yet. I can’t wait to start getting to know all of them ;)
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!
You’re both busy making this place!
agreed with @sab - we’re making it active! i’m so happy kbin is so active!!!
but, it is true, our “job” is probably more fun!
Your awesome attitude is a sizable chunk of why I’m here.
sorry, nothing to add to the original question, but I can finally see and interact with kbin instances, it seems :-D
(saving this thread for magazine recommendations)
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

For me it’s the responsibility and attention span required that keep me from recreating some of my favourite communities from the Other Place.

@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.
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 :)
@testing and I’m really happy that you did! Just in time for all of this to happen too, lol
That name makes it look like the twitter profile of a trump supporter of Irish descent :D
@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 😂
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.
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
I found water drinkers which seems to wanna be hydrohommiss from Reddit. So hopefully that grows!
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
I’m still struggling with actually adding new magazines, would you be able to link to water drinkers for me?
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
Enjoying the links on https://kbin.social/m/space so far.
Just chiming in so I’ll remember to check this thread out in a while!
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.
But someone else (not one of the reddit mods) created https://kbin.social/m/AskMen and fixed that problem.
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.
@scifi, @mechanicalkeyboards, @PetPics, @science, @TodayILearned are some of my favourites to go through.
You should check out @FindAKbin for getting magazine recommendations.
Huh, the links seem to be changing from magazine to user profile when clicked. Here are all the links below:
https://kbin.social/m/scifi
https://kbin.social/m/mechanicalkeyboards
https://kbin.social/m/PetPics
https://kbin.social/m/science
https://kbin.social/m/TodayILearnedFor recommendations: https://kbin.social/m/FindAKbin
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.
if you, or anyone else, has xreal glasses join me over in the xreal magazine.
Awhile ago we had this awesome thread going on where people could tell us about their favourite magazines (and some were created on the spot):
I’m the creator and at the moment sole moderator (so totally partial) of those three:
https://kbin.social/m/SouthPark
https://kbin.social/m/Seinfeld
https://kbin.social/m/CurbI’ve been posting Katy Perry lyrics in /m/KatyPerry, come join me :)
