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!

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.

That name makes it look like the twitter profile of a trump supporter of Irish descent :D

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.
