afaik there isn't one. Maybe it's incoming? sh.itjust.works has both save and collapse functionality. So it is possible. There are also starting to be some apps floating around out. Jerboan (Jerboa?) is one of them. They might have the ability to save stuff.

No. I think what confuses people is that you usually don't go to any particular instance but rather you access that instance through your home instance. e.g. you search in kbin.social for a lemmy.ml community or post. They'll show up.

You can still directly to that other instance. But you can't comment or vote. You would need to copy the full fediverse url for that post and pop in the home instance's search in order to take actions on the post.

To add to this, the only time you might need to create another account is to join in instance which has defederated from the others. As one example, currently you would need to separately join beehaw.org

They're moderated by whoever created them. I imagine if they permit something that is sufficiently egregious the instance creators/owners might delete the magazine? In the meantime, a user can block any particular magazine.

afa a magazine being take over. A similar process as with r/Canada and r/onguardforthee would happen: a new community could be formed. It could even the same name, just on another instance (e.g. [email protected] vs [email protected])

Crossposting in a context of a platform rife with re-postings doesn't sound too appealing.

Repeat content in inevitable, of course. But on Reddit, it is accelerated because of the karma system, bots, and karma farming. The desire for more content and traffic in the fediverse is to improve the quality of experience for existing users and to make it more enticing to new ones joining. I would argue that is not the purpose of content generation on Reddit.

Maybe I'm muddying that aspect of the question, though.

True that. But there are likely quieter versions of this which mods could enact, if they wanted to slowly undermine a sub. Not necessarily advocating for this approach, though malicious compliance can have its place — and certainly not the pieces of getting people to join the fediverse by spamming Reddit. Maybe it heightens awareness of the fediverse; but not sure it sets the right tone nor ultimately serves this whole venture.

@Jitzilla Others have mentioned how to tell that this post is federated from elsewhere to kbin. The question of why you are seeing it here on kbin is another thing... I think it's because you were likely on the home page of kbin with the filter set to "all" so that you are effectively seeing a stream of content from anywhere in the fediverse — sort of like being on r/all. i.e. no one specifically reposted it here. It just, idk, had enough traffic to show up high enough for you to come across it.

Isn't there a setting in your profile to block NSFW? Or is not working fully?

Are there any concerns around image hosting? I'd be up for more art too, but curious if a standard should be put in place around image hosting - namely to not overwhelm an instance's servers during a period of already meaningful growth

Î was going to mention this one. Just the flexibility of approaches it permitted was revelatory to me.

On a more dubious note, it also unlocked sides of me that I wasn't aware of before.

Honorable mention to the first civ which was, for me, what the Risk boardgame had prophecied.

That's cool that people do stuff like this

I was just going to link that! Two articles on the topic:

https://www.makeuseof.com/top-unbiased-news-sources/

I tried my hand at creating a magazine https://kbin.social/m/neutralnews

Haven't done a lot with it, though. But it was in response to the same dilemma as OP
