  • I’ve been thinking about that as well.
    Perhaps something along the lines of reading a feed from the Mangadex API

    However, although I’d like the “Manga” magazine to grow, I do feel like I’m a bit stuck in the Reddit mindset.
    Part of the appeal of being a “Federated” instance is that you can get content from anywhere, regardless what instance is the origin.
    So, it shouldn’t matter if I go to the manga “magazine” or get the feed from elsewhere.
    This is very much at odds with how I previously consumed content though.

    Unlike Twitter where you follow a hashtag, Reddit taught me I should go to sub-communities if I want to follow discussion.

    So should we just neglect magazines and simply comment under individual posts found under a #hashstag or drag Reddit’s style of browsing into Fediverse?

    In any case, as far as I know the Kbin API doesn’t yet support a bot that’d post like that.
    You could, however, simply make a bot that uses the UI (using JS to fill out fields) to post things.
    It’d break the moment it faces something like Cloudflare or any other anti-bot measure, though.
