Add another sort to the magazines section to sort by number of threads (to help find magazines from other aggregators)
Sorry if this isn't the right place to add this post. If I've put it in the wrong place, feel free to let me know the correct magazine.
I noticed that the on the list of Magazines section here: https://kbin.social/magazines, the "hot" tab shows mostly the kbin magazines. This made me sometimes subscribe to a magazine where the other aggregator like Lemmy already had a duplicate(same purpose).
The kbin version of the magazine shows up first since it has more subscribers, even though the other version on Lemmy has more Threads.
One example I can give is the magazines/communities Anime@kbin.social and anime@lemmy.ml.
When I search for "anime", and sort by "hot", the kbin version shows up first even though it has about half as many threads because it has much more subscribers.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, maybe it would be nice if I could sort the list of Magazines by number of threads too, rather than only the number of subscribers. After all, the anime@lemmy.ml has like 3000 subscribers on lemmy.ml, but it has only 200 on kbin.
If I could sort by number of threads a magazine has, then I might be able to find the other options of magazines. I thought there was only one magazine for "gaming" but actually there are two, and they cover the same exact topic. If I only subscribed to the "gaming" on kbin, then I would be missing out on the content from lemmy users. It might help get more unified on the fediverse. It's great if there's two "gaming" communities/mags that cover different things, but I think for this case, people would want to be able to see the threads/posts from both (and ideally not have to subscribe to both to not miss out due to misunderstanding)
Seems useful. I saw a link somewhere about the GitHub repo. Maybe that's the place to suggest enhancements?
The devs' update said they are a bit overwhelmed with the reddit refugees at this time, so please be patient. They aren't a megacorp with an army of paid developers.
Could be I'm confusing the kbin devs with the Lemmy devs:

Oh yeah I saw the people at Lemmy are swamped xD I’m sure the developers in kbin are swamped too though…200 new issues
Maybe this is the right place: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core
Go to Issues and see if there is an existing request.
Thanks :)
Best of luck, I'm new here too. 🫡
