I’m not asking to be snarky or anything… I’m subbed to plenty of magazines that I enjoy reading.
It’s just that the front page has the “random magazines” section, and the top bar is full of a seemingly random list of unrelated magazines… and 99% of what shows up in these two places is just empty. They seem like magazines that were made as placeholders and have been sitting empty for 6 months.
These two spots seem like prime real estate that should be filled with useful subs; or at least that magazines under a certain threshold ought to be filtered out of these locations to keep them relevant.
Or am I missing something?
Honestly if you see kbin magazines that are just empty and unused (as you said, lots of people have made placeholder magazines during the Redditpocalypse and then it took time to see if people would stick around, or settle on a specific magazine)), check if the owner is awol for more than a month and if so, claim the magazine and set it to delete. Ernest goes in and will clear them out (tho he’s a bit behind I assume due to all the work he’s doing right now on the software) but it will help with getting the unused ones cleared out. I got well over a dozen of em scheduled to be deleted myself, as well as 10 or so others already deleted.
Ahh interesting!
I’ve seen Ernest as the owner of a lot of those magazines, and I figured that they defaulted back to him if the creator had left or something. Claiming them and deleting them is a clever solution!
