Empty magazines you'd like to see more populated

Many magazines i browsed don't have any content. You can post here the ones you'd like to see more populated.

According the statistics i did all by myself:

-47% of magazines don't have any thread/publication
-70% of magazines don't have any comments

25 comments

Mostly local subs. Still have to go to reddit to see what’s going on in my city.

- I don't know if it's a plugin I installed or maybe it's default behavior, but if you have the picture icon to the immediate left of the comment counter, you can click on it to expand the photo without having to go into the post.

Not empty, but virtually dead:

@coolguides

@interestingasfuck

@damnthatsinteresting

@dataisbeautiful

Empty:

@datahoarder

@educationalgifs
- @interestingasfuck should become more popular for sure IMO.
  
  I think it would be cool if the big generic "post anything we like" magazines had their own personality instead of just directly ripping off popular subreddits.
- i am starting to post in these mags, just made a post in @coolguides. we need to be the change we want to see and start generating content
  
  edit: i have posted numerous times in several mags now. imagine if everyone reading this post submitted at least one?
  
  I would, too. But I never really come across these things "out in the wild." Just in the subreddits.
I was going to start a @theatre magazine but someone beat me to it, though they haven't been seen since (no threads, no comments, and barely any communities that they're following other than the four they started themselves). So I started the more focused @Musicals instead, which is growing slowly.
Autoremove the subs with zero activity. After one month allow another admin to take a shot.
- I agree with the intent but not the method here. I think the fediverse usually waits for activity before proceeding with its usual systems and that should probably apply here.
  
  I say, if a magazine has zero activity after the first month, it should have a public flag on it "Inactive" when someone visits. If someone wants to take over, they'll automatically get control. But I think it's okay to leave the space for people to post there, without necessarily assuming they want control over it too.
  
  I think inactive moderators should be handled slightly differently. One month seems too short to demote them. I say if a magazine has had no moderator log in for 3 months, the magazine is marked "No Leadership" and anyone who asks gets promoted, but let's leave the demoting or deletions to real humans to review and commit to.
I'm trying to get @HikingPics going but I'm running out of my own pics so any more contributors would be awesome :)
@nextfuckinglevel has just a post from a month ago. Despite this, it has over 1600 subscribers, people are very interested in this, but the owner is a power mod who has never posted on several of their magazines.
This kind of mod is a really big problem that may be driving new users away from kbin.
- yikes, that mod is sitting on a lot of big name mags. probably ran to snatch the name up

So far I'm the only one posting anything. If you are a fan or have ever played, join! New developers have had a rough start but their latest briefing indicates they listen to the community and will be fixing fixing things. I have a lot of hope for the future of Hell Let Loose!
/kbin is new, so most magazines are empty af like your statistics already states <3
also some magazines are (kinda useless? i think..) since they also exist on other instances.. but i like local magazines a lot more anyways 😁

but back to the quesion: linux, gamingonlinux, the most "weird" aesthetic magazines and also most creativity magazines about art and storywriting/self-written novels about all kind (i prefer dark mystic storys).

i think a good start would if i/we do begin to post to these magazines soon, atm i'm/we kinda just watch 'em (most of us?).
