It seems like when the big reddit migration happened, a lot of new users claimed magazine names on kbin instances that were popular on reddit in order to have ownership of them, but they seemingly have no interest in posting content to them. This has unfortunately caused lot of otherwise useful magazines to remain dormant, vacant, and unused.

Would it make sense to have these ghost magazines expire or have a system for changing ownership of them if no one uses them? It’s a shame if the good names are taken and immediately abandoned, and it’s not a great user experience to look for communities only to find so many empty and abandoned magazines.

I’m curious what opinions are regarding this matter. Thanks.

    Ernest is aware of this and will be working on it at some point, his comment is here.

      Awesome! I suspect Ernest is the hardest working man in open source social media right now.
