They're moderated by whoever created them. I imagine if they permit something that is sufficiently egregious the instance creators/owners might delete the magazine? In the meantime, a user can block any particular magazine.

afa a magazine being take over. A similar process as with r/Canada and r/onguardforthee would happen: a new community could be formed. It could even the same name, just on another instance (e.g. canada@kbin.social vs canada@lemmy.ml)

Crossposting in a context of a platform rife with re-postings doesn't sound too appealing.

Repeat content in inevitable, of course. But on Reddit, it is accelerated because of the karma system, bots, and karma farming. The desire for more content and traffic in the fediverse is to improve the quality of experience for existing users and to make it more enticing to new ones joining. I would argue that is not the purpose of content generation on Reddit.

Maybe I'm muddying that aspect of the question, though.

True that. But there are likely quieter versions of this which mods could enact, if they wanted to slowly undermine a sub. Not necessarily advocating for this approach, though malicious compliance can have its place — and certainly not the pieces of getting people to join the fediverse by spamming Reddit. Maybe it heightens awareness of the fediverse; but not sure it sets the right tone nor ultimately serves this whole venture.

@Jitzilla Others have mentioned how to tell that this post is federated from elsewhere to kbin. The question of why you are seeing it here on kbin is another thing... I think it's because you were likely on the home page of kbin with the filter set to "all" so that you are effectively seeing a stream of content from anywhere in the fediverse — sort of like being on r/all. i.e. no one specifically reposted it here. It just, idk, had enough traffic to show up high enough for you to come across it.

Isn't there a setting in your profile to block NSFW? Or is not working fully?

Are there any concerns around image hosting? I'd be up for more art too, but curious if a standard should be put in place around image hosting - namely to not overwhelm an instance's servers during a period of already meaningful growth

That's cool that people do stuff like this

I was just going to link that! Two articles on the topic:

https://www.thefactual.com/blog/what-are-the-best-nonpartisan-news-sources/

https://www.makeuseof.com/top-unbiased-news-sources/

I tried my hand at creating a magazine https://kbin.social/m/neutralnews

Haven't done a lot with it, though. But it was in response to the same dilemma as OP

Why does this comment, and the one it's responding to show, up in 3 places?

Edit: I'm actually seeing this elsewhere too. Maybe it's quirk of cross communication between instances?

Not sure if I'll do a good job of answering this, but there are a few ways to discern between local and federated content. First, by how you filter content. e.g. by All or what you've Subscribed to.

Secondly, in two parts:
Next to the title it says where the link first came from, originally. That might be kbin.social, lemmy.world or it might youtube.com. In the latter one, each post in a thread also says who posted it with "[username], 3 hours ago to [thread]" That [thread] indicates the origin in the fideverse of that post. So if someone first posted that youtube link on lemmy.ml and then it was brought over here, that's where you'd find that out.

Note that you might have to hover over it to fully where it came from (that's the case on my desktop). For example, right now I see some post marked "[Username], 1 hour ago to Technology." Hovering over "Technology" reveals that it was @technology meaning that's where it came from.

On sh.itjust.works, there's a way to only see content from that instance. Not sure rn how to replicate that for kbin.social.

What makes federated threads show up here: because you've subscribed to it; because you are viewing m/all, and someone else posted it there. btw, if you want to post something from elsewhere here, you simply copy paste the federated link for it. You'll notice on a kbin article/post, when you click "more" there's the option of either a local link or a fediverse link. Other instances will have that option, which is what you'd want to copy.

Bringing in a url from elsewhere in the fediverse, btw, becomes one way to then be able to subscribe to it here (iirc).

There's a lot of good guidance for understanding kbin and the fediverse. It's just a little scattered everywhere in the many discussions that have been had. Don't be afraid to keep asking for clarifications. Plenty of us are trying to pay forward the help that we've received.

Hope this helps a little

I don't feel I've done either of those things. Right now there is a great deal of meta dialogue about the transitions and changes occurring, particularly in relation to migration from Reddit. This post was a contribution to that, and in lock step with other convos that I've encountered here.

Exactly. (Hopefully) quality will lead an instance to predominate organically
