@kaupas24 i'm pretty sure they are post flairs, so examples might be like "meme" or "news" or "review" used for sorting/filtering within a magazine, just haven't been implemented yet

I found /m/weightroom and /m/Fitness, there were also a couple lemmy zines (@bodyweightfitness and @fitness)

@s804 I'll apologise for both the unnecessary descriptor and the pre-emptive bans, please understand I was seeing someone posting at a very high rate to many different magazines and didn't want to wake up to a big mess in my magazines. I've helped mod other communities before and high posting rate was one of the big red flags for bot behaviour. It was not "random" and you also didn't need to troll my comment history with downvotes in retaliation. I've lifted the bans and apologise for being hasty instead of contacting you first.

@TheaoneAndOnly27 So, go to either the page for the magazine or user you want to block, you should see a ᴓ type of symbol which is the block button. On the magazine page it should be just to the right of the subscribe button, and on a user's page it should be just to the right of the follow button. Click that thing and it should go red to indicate your block is successful! Also sometimes it takes a couple seconds to register, just wait it out :)

I suspect anyone pushing ads is probably going to find themselves swiftly defederated, lol

idk how some people want to spread themselves so thin in this way, I have 2 tiny zines to look after and that is already plenty. I think some people are just camping as well, I have visited quite a few freshly-made zines the past few days where there is no welcome, nothing posted, and the mod is not participating anywhere really. I know there has been downtime and lag and folks are busy too, but it is kind of a bummer if they are not even going to try. :/

partial to kbeans myself (to explain: kbin beings -> kbeans)

 

I can see there's a /m/beer, /m/whiskey, /m/homebrewing and a handful of coffee-related ones but are there other beverage magazines around or a general beverage magazine? would especially be interested in a magazine for energy drinks if there is one >_>;

edit to add: I have now made /m/EnergyDrinks lol, come say hi if you like!

This is probably the only spooky thing that has happened to me (so far!): a couple months ago I was traveling for work and staying in a hotel. The room had a balcony but I tried the sliding door when I first got there, and it would not budge, even though I checked I had unlatched it properly. It was just plain stuck so I relatched it and gave up on my dream of balcony coffee mornings for the week. The night before I left, I was sitting in bed reading on my tablet and I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye. I looked up to see the sliding door opening entirely of its own accord. There was nobody on the balcony, there was no earthquake that had jostled it loose, there had been no housekeeping during my stay to open it, it wasn't an electronic lock, I had no explanation! So I got up and closed the door and tried opening it again. Stuck?! I am not a ghosts person but even I was like...that is some ghost nonsense, I would totally do this if I was a ghost.

 

There are a lot of shows out there, what have you watched recently that you would advise others to see or to skip, and why? Please try to avoid spoilers, for extra challenge :)

as for me, I am watching Fringe for the first time recently and even though it is an older show it is a definite see, I wish I had gotten to it earlier! I really like the thing-of-the-week format that still has a bigger story, and was pleasantly surprised that there is quite a bit of horror in it, I was only expecting sci-fi!
