Where's an appropriate place to announce new magazines on kbin?

FrostBolt@kbin.social to Reddit Migration@kbin.social – 8 points –

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

  1. Go to https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world
  2. 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

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?

I suppose that's an idea. I'm still not fully used to federation, neither on the technical level nor the social norm level (and maybe we're all figuring that out as we go)

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