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.

    It makes me not want to post in those subs. It’s as if I was working for someone else. If you have no interest in a subject to the point that you have nothing to say about it then don’t take the admin position in the first place.

    There are more than 500 people registered to /m/interestingasfuck, with zero post, nothing, absolutely nothing posted there. So don’t say that this kind of behavior is for facilitating the experience. It is to gather virtual points of fame. They create it because they think it’s gonna get big, not out of interest or to facilitate anything. I don’t want this kind of person to moderate the subs I like.

      Yeah, they probably grabbed any highly popular “subreddit” names just for some weird power grab. The good thing is when federation is working again someone who actually wants to make a good magazine for one of those can make it on another instance and any other kbin instance can subscribe to it.
