Hey,

don't get me wrong, I am a big AEW fan, but this community seems to be very, very focused on AEW, or is it just me?

This seems to be an issue with all wrestling magazines on the fediverse. Which makes sense; the people who flocked to a new social media platform are probably the same type of people who flocked to a new wrestling promotion. Malcolm Gladwell would call us “Mavens” (funny enough).

The solution is simple: if anyone watches WWE/ NJPW / GCW or anything else and wants to post about it, do it! I started posting the AEW discussion threads a few weeks ago only because someone in the microblog asked if there would be one, and instead of waiting around for someone to respond to that person, I just went ahead and did it.

To me, the real issue with this place is that the mods have basically abandoned us. As far as I know, we’re now the biggest wrestling magazine on the fediverse but we don’t have any active mods. We have a subscription number similar to the MMA magazine…but holy cow are those guys putting in work to build their magazine! They’re getting upwards of ONE THOUSAND comments on their PPV’s. While here our biggest showing was the Forbidden Door discussion thread, which had all of 70+ comments. Without active mods, we’re going to skate by with minimal growth…and possibly even lose some numbers. It’s an issue we, as a community, will probably have to solve at some point.

Is "magazine" kbin for "subreddit"?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yep. Here on kbin it's a Magazine, on Lemmy it's a Community.

I'm on Lemmy's side of that debate, "magazine" already has a totally different definition.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of "magazine" for the nomenclature choice but long as it works they can call it hippy-zippy-do-groupings and I'll live with it XD

Especially as wrestling magazines in particular are very much a thing, I was deeply confused by this post for quite a while.
