A couple updates!

Currently our microblog pulls in anything tagged with #fanfiction. Not even when it is posted, as everyone might have noticed the recent additions from much longer than a week ago. (This is a Kbin thing. I don’t know how Lemmy or others see this.)

I have asked how to keep this from happening, but haven’t gotten an answer yet. Kbin is new and I think for most magazines this isn’t an issue.

The only way this becomes an issue is when the posts go against our rules. I prefer to ask people to change things, rather than just delete stuff. However, if people didn’t post to here in the first place, it’s just confusing for everyone.

Does it matter to you if the microblog does this?

The biggest issue so far are the few posts which go against the self-promotion rule. The reason we have this rule is because a lot of communities which allow for this tend to become people only posting about their own work and little response. We could still hold the microblog section up to the other rules, but allow it to have personal links.

As it is separate from threads, it might not be as big an issue in this community as it is for others.

Second matter of business:

Do people want an icon?

I’ll admit I’m not the most visual person, so this didn’t even occur to me. But if people wanted to submit ideas for an icon for this new community, I’d love to see what we decide on!

UPDATE
I will update the rules about the microblog section. Mods will now only remove posts if they are against our being good to each other rule or no bashing/witch hunts to authors.
