I’m not asking to be snarky or anything… I’m subbed to plenty of magazines that I enjoy reading.
It’s just that the front page has the “random magazines” section, and the top bar is full of a seemingly random list of unrelated magazines… and 99% of what shows up in these two places is just empty. They seem like magazines that were made as placeholders and have been sitting empty for 6 months.
These two spots seem like prime real estate that should be filled with useful subs; or at least that magazines under a certain threshold ought to be filtered out of these locations to keep them relevant.
Or am I missing something?
Are you sure about that? They take up valuable real estate that could be better served promoting active magazines. Having a good portion of the home page filled up with empty links is not helpful at best.
I don’t think they’re preventing active groups taking that space. They’d be displaced if there was something else with activity going on
Is that how it works? It doesn’t seem like that… the “Random Magazines” section seems truly random. Sometimes I’ll find something with posts, it’s just that 9 times out of 10 it’s an empty magazine with zero activity. And the top bar is far worse than that. I’d say 19/20 of the magazines up there have absolutely zero content.
Honestly if they got bumped out by magazines with activity that would be awesome.
The topbar has no random magazines, it always show the same magazines (but in random order), at least for me
Yeah I think you’re right. The order seems random, but it’s generally the same magazines for me too. No rhyme or reason to them, and most of them are empty.
