@slybird A vast majority of the magazines we're blitzed on day one with hopes that we would fill them up as the torrent of people came over. People quickly found that there were already thriving communities out on lemmy for the same topics, so many magazines were abandoned. It's an issue that @ernest is aware of.
In the mean-time, someone was nice enough to make this site to help people find those thriving communities that have migrated away from reddit: https://sub.rehab/
