Where's an appropriate place to announce new magazines on kbin? (kbin.social)

Edit: with Mintyytea's help, I figured out how to do it:

Go to https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world
Use the plus (+) button in the upper right of the kbin UI to add the article

I believe one of the Lemmy instances has a "newcommunities" forum, but I'm not sure if kbin has something similar

Thanks

I only see disadvantages in doing that separately. What's wrong with posting it over there?

[–] FrostBolt@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I suppose that's an idea. I'm still not fully used to federation, neither on the technical level nor the social norm level (and maybe we're all figuring that out as we go)

Hmmm. I'm actually not seeing a way to do that without creating a new account over there. 🤔

You interact with communities/magazines on other instances from your home instance, so for that lemmy community, you'd go to https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world or search for it from https://kbin.social/magazines

Strange - I tried going to https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world and even subscribing but I still can't add a post

It looks like I can create a new post just fine. What are you seeing when you hit the add button?

It doesn't want to autocomplete the community name; see image:
