And then have no activity in them. Not quite sure why this is happening, is it power hungry idiots thinking if I make fifty magazines, maybe one will be popular?

Do people assume if they create a magazine, it becomes active as if by magic?

Or are people thinking this is similar to a new game of Pokémon, and they have to make all the magazines?

I find it baffling that those who have created many magazines are not active.

Kbin definitely needs to have some sort of means to apply to the admins to take control of a dead 'zine that will inevitably come from the mass creation of 'zines, kinda like how r*ddit has a way for people to apply to mod dead subs. I'm sure there are a lot of prime 'zines that someone will make and forget about that a community would like to have.

In the end kbin needs more development to allow mods to foster community and remove zero purpose mods that exist in power vacuums. How is development on the website by the way? Is the developer fairly involved?

Don't think Ernest has slept in like four days, actually. Haven't actually seen a post from him in a couple days but all evidence points towards him working feverishly to improve the site and software.

I bet. What confuses me is by all means kbin.social is a singular instance, we don't want centralization just on this server, so how would other instances access magazines that are created here? Basically, how would you have magazines synced across instances?
