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.
Just as a PSA to everyone, they actually do populate automatically with microblog posts (from Mastodon for example) if you add relevant tags to the magazine.
I’ve had a couple issues posting picture threads so I suspect that’s why some are dark.
In any case, gotta remember it’s not like all the content is generated by the mod. Find something you like, start adding content. People will start to snowball in once your posts land in “new”.
