What would you all like to see from this magazine? (kbin.social)

As I'm sure some of you noticed, very shortly after Ernest posted the update to KBin that allowed for abandoned magazine adoption, I took over this magazine.

After a quick flurry of activity kicking the former moderator and owner who hadn't logged in in over 3 months and using a spammer as some target practice for my shiny new ban hammer, I haven't done much aside from contribute a pair of crossposts.

It's been quiet, which is totally okay of course. There are other great Threadiverse selfhosted communities I hope all who are interested have already found.

But I'd ideally like to find a niche for this community to fill. My small contribution back to the community at large I've been benefitting from for over a decade now.

Do any of you have cool ideas? We could do themed days, giveaways, weekly posts, a wiki, a matrix server, whatever really.

Or we could simply update the sidebar to redirect to other selfhosting communities.

Any and all ideas welcome!

I think a wiki of useful software and communities would be great! On reddit, weekly threads were often designed to corral posts so that the subreddit wasn't flooded with similar topics. It seems like that's not a problem here, so weekly posts would have to be pretty open-ended to spur discussion. For example, this week there could be a Black Friday Hardware Deals Post or something (e.g. I hear those 18TB WD hard drives at Best Buy are decent starter NAS material). Next week, there could be a post about shucking the drives.
