What to do about ghost magazines that have no content?
(kbin.social)
Magazine dedicated to discussions about the kbin itself. Provide feedback, ask questions, suggest improvements, and engage in conversations related to the platform organization, policies, features, and community dynamics. ---- * Roadmap 2023 * m/kbinDevlog * m/kbinDesign
I'm a bit saddened with the default assumption by others in this thread that empty magazines were primarily created by name squatters. RheingoldRiver is right in pointing out that a fair number of magazines were most likely created by Reddit refugees looking for niche content that did not exist at all here in the Fediverse. I created one when I first came to Kbin in the hopes that others would come and start posting/create a community. So far I am the only one who has posted any content, but it is hard to just keep posting into the void by yourself.
Yeah if you look at my profile I'm modding 7 magazines:
I don't think you and @Bufo are the kind of people we are talking about though.
My problem has been with one where I was posting a lot to help make it active.
I reached out to the owner, like @Kill_joy suggests, once a week, asking about community rules and moderation, never got a reply then one day they turned up, created one rule and left again and don't post or comment on kbin.
