I dunno, I was up and running in five minutes. You pick an instance, you sign up, you verify the email, and you’re good to go. What server doesn’t matter much, barring it closing unexpectedly and without warning. There’s not enough users to need more than a handful.

You gotta spread the word.

But, being real, it’s going to be slow. The nature of the beast with lemmy/kbin is that there’s a very long discovery process. So, not only do your have to spread awareness of your c/, you have to have those users be active on a lot of other ones, and feel motivated to share links on yours.

There’s the new communities c/ on lemmy.world (I think? Could be lemmy.ml, my brain is fried rn) though. It’s helped me discovery wise. And you can’t be afraid to do a little self hype. Like, when you find something to post on your magazine, tell/ask the person you’re borrowing from that you did so/want to. Provide a link to that bestof post as well.

Yeah, it’s shameless self promotion, but you won’t have to do it long, assuming the lemmy/kbin world stays steady.

Edit: make sure your link is formatted right for jerboa/app use as well.

::: spoiler test testing

Aha! That got it. Three colons. Spoiler, then the text for the spoiler listing, an enter, n closing `::: and then it works. It doesn’t work without the enter before the spolied text, which is just confusing and annoying imo. The >! Markdown is so much better.

But! You can enter anything after the initial ::: spoiler as the text to show before clicking

It’s working on mobile browser for me, but not on jerboa. Jerboa doesn’t seem to recognize several markdown notations.

that’s a screenshot with the spoiler entry from the little triangle with an ! In it from the entry box

Edit: and the jerboa update didn’t bring full markdown support lol

Just say the same thing I said when I got this at r/knives. Fuck spez.
