Aslo we shouldn't forget that it has been a particularly hectic week for anything reddit related.
Between connection issues related to the large influx of new users, lots of learning curve, ambiguity of whether reddit was going to back down or not, and just the general trying to rebuild our online worlds to account for what reddit was beforehand. It's not at all surprising that people haven't necessarily found time to build out the content of their new magazines.
I agree with you that if they're willing to grab the name for purposes of creating a place for that content to move from Reddit, they can at a minimum add some text and a single post declaring that reason.
Right. I saw some content I wanted to post but the magazines didn't exist here yet, so I created them. I copied the existing rules and put a comment that any existing mods were welcome to take over. My motivation was that I wanted new people to find their familiar subs when they come here, but I have no aspirations of actually modding it myself if the original mods come along.
E: I do kinda think it wasn't the right move now and that while we are small we should consolidate into less niche magazines, but what's done is done, however it's not a power play with everyone anyway.
This has been my approach - to observe that a topic is missing and put up a "lightning rod" - if no lightning strikes, the magazine can wither, but if others are looking, they have a place to accumulate.
thanks for using Leebra!
