I found several that I had somehow missed on Kbin.social as well as a new one that just moved over from reddit! I’ll list all the new ones below.
As far as the federation goes I was doing some testing to see if I can get the pinned comments pushed over but it doesn’t seem to be working. I opened up a feature request for Lemmy, as I think it’s an issue on that side rather than Kbin, to see if pinned comments made before federation starts could be pulled over. There was an issue earlier in the year where it wasn’t happening on lemmy to lemmy instances but that was fixed so hopefully kbin-lemmy instances can be fixed as well. I’ll give it a bit but if it seems like it may not be happening anytime soon, I’ll go ahead and repost the comment with the directory and delete the old comment so that it shows on any new instances. I know the magazine/community should be showing on lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone but I’m not sure if it shows on others yet. If you are on lemmy and can’t find it to subscribe, try pasting the full link to the Kbin magazine in your search instead of just the search term (This goes for this magazine as well as any of the cat magazines/communities in the directory).
From what I can tell the comments are really the only way to have a directory like this, since the magazine info doesn’t get updated after federation starts either. I’ll keep experimenting to find the best result but for now we’re going to stick with comments and then I’ll just periodically have to make a new one so it get’s pushed to all instances.
I’ll also be doing some reorganization to make it look nicer. I’m loosely following the organization used on r/catsubs but also doing it in ways that make sense to me. If anyone has some suggestions on other things to change let me know! I want to eventually get a better icon for the magazine, at the moment it’s mostly just a placeholder (It’s just a free icon I found online).
Last note, I wont be doing these updates daily, only when I add new links or if it’s some major change I just ended up finding a bunch of new additions twice in a row.
