Was inspired to write thread after seeing this post https://lemm.ee/post/1355047 .
I was speaking with some people in mid #redditblackout about making a hub community which aims to navigate everyone to all niche existing magazine and help out with moderation and discoverability. A magazine where only mod and moderation team of magazines subscribed under hub can promote their magazines, share experiences, giving advices with legal pitfalls.
Same idea as https://kbin.social/m/MagHub but creation of Hub would be on request to Instance owner and Joining or being kicked out will be done by Hub owner. Will try to be concise in bullet points.
- Search News> will show up News hub and then news magazines.
2.Allows different magazines under same name and purpose to interact with each other much easier and consolidate or diversify threads according on this interaction.
- Allows for more niche under niche magazines, ex Game magazine and cosplay dedicated to that game magazine, Modders only game magazine.
4.Discussions on rules, what allowed what not. Sharing ban list to prevent hitchhikers who troll and jump from magazine of same niche to other of same niche.
- Connect lemmy and kbin? Under one hub while under different instances. Or only kbin x with kbin y.
- Allows Nsfw magazines have more close interaction with Sfw, redirecting users from one to another as Sfw would more likely be more populated and stricter in rules.
- Allows magazines diversity on language spectrum as you will look box standard English name of the Game hub and see a magazine in your own language.
This is my intent and my driving force to use and learn Mastodon, Kbin, Misskey, Hubzilla. Have more integration between systems , consolidate while being on different instances and allows for discoverability even if federation is wonky. More interaction on same topics while not being forced to one instance magazine/community. Nurture moderation etiquette for new magazines and help with initial growth of unknown magazine. Promote niche within niche magazine while having roots and connection to main ones. Hub will be official and per request to Admin, everything under Hub are community and can join/leave/avoid depending on their stance. Allows more official sources example Minecraft official representative that was on reddit, while not to be tied to a magazine that is the biggest on Fediverse. Hub manually approve who can join, there must be system (voting? Direct addressing to instance owner?) to remove Hub owner and replace him incase of powertripping.
This is only proposal so If you like the idea or hate it you can comment accordingly. I am interested what pitfalls I don't see or understand.
