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.

It makes me not want to post in those subs. It's as if I was working for someone else. If you have no interest in a subject to the point that you have nothing to say about it then don't take the admin position in the first place.

There are more than 500 people registered to /m/interestingasfuck, with zero post, nothing, absolutely nothing posted there. So don't say that this kind of behavior is for facilitating the experience. It is to gather virtual points of fame. They create it because they think it's gonna get big, not out of interest or to facilitate anything. I don't want this kind of person to moderate the subs I like.

I thought about trying to make one but realized I despise responsibility.

Only those who feel obliged to act responsibly despise responsibility.

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?
