Where's an appropriate place to announce new magazines on kbin? (kbin.social)

Edit: with Mintyytea's help, I figured out how to do it:

Go to https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world
Use the plus (+) button in the upper right of the kbin UI to add the article

I believe one of the Lemmy instances has a "newcommunities" forum, but I'm not sure if kbin has something similar

Thanks

I advertised my kbin magazine on that lemmy community you mentioned :) I’m subscribed to it too. Most of the forums im subscribed to are from lemmy but it’s fine

That's great, but I haven't figured out how to do that in the UI. Tried Create New Article, even while subscribed to newcommunities@lemmy.world and it won't populate the community dropdown

Are you going to the community and then clicking create new article? Maybe post a screenshot of the issue you run into

[–] FrostBolt@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you. Your comment helped me figure it out. In kbin you have to use the upper right + (plus) button to do it. And then the community dropdown fills in properly.

I only see disadvantages in doing that separately. What's wrong with posting it over there?

[–] FrostBolt@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hmmm. I'm actually not seeing a way to do that without creating a new account over there. 🤔

It looks like I can create a new post just fine. What are you seeing when you hit the add button?

[–] FrostBolt@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

It doesn't want to autocomplete the community name; see image:

You interact with communities/magazines on other instances from your home instance, so for that lemmy community, you'd go to https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world or search for it from https://kbin.social/magazines

Strange - I tried going to https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world and even subscribing but I still can't add a post
