...instead why don't you make an easy to follow tutorial and post an article, "THIS is how you can decorate your magazine using CSS..."
If your goal is to have a more beautiful user experience for all who browse the second would seem more effective at achieving that goal.
If your goal is to humble brag and position your magazine (and coding skills) as superior to those of other mag mods, the first phrasing is the superior way to go about that.
I very much doubt your intent was to talk down to anyone, however, so I would very much advocate your writing up a CSS guide in pursuit of what I presume to be your goals (a vibrant and beautiful library of magazines here on kbin).
Your magazine is very pretty and I commend you for your decorative and coding skills.
I don't know CSS. I took the automatically generated background CSS (under appearance) & fed it into ChatGTP & told it how I wanted it to look. After a little trial & error to get that right, I tweaked the color codes till I liked them. That's pretty much it.
I definitely wasn't trying to talk down to anyone.
Still, could do a small informative post about how to go about modifying CSS of a magazine. This place is still relatively small and I bet many people don't even know there can be custom CSS (like myself lol).
As a magazine having a custom CSS isn't important for whether I decide to interact with a community, I'm much more focused on other methods of gathering an audience and activity which isn't just me posting over and over.
If you still want to target reddit, without overtly giving traffic to reddit, I highly recommend one of the many LibReddit instances. And with something like LibRedirect you could still be doing !ddgr and click any reddit links, and always get redirected directly to an appropriate LibReddit instance.
They don't know what should they do at this point, they wanted to scrape the website (which is what teddit plans to do) but saw that it would be too muc work, then they said they would use graphQL and now they want to cache requests to reduce the API usage while asking for the instance admins to provide the private key. They made a poll on github on wether they should make the telemetry of sending the number of requests in a totally private way, and the majority was fine, but the devs were still skeptical on adding this feature, so yeah, libreddit doesn't have a bright future currently.
I'm just waiting for things to shake out before I start going crazy with CSS.
This website's CSS is more complex than Old Reddit's, and people can easily apply different themes. Without a checkbox to turn CSS off, I can easily break my magazines for others.
I played around with it but honestly it's a bit of a nightmare to support given all the different Kbin user themes and the differences between desktop and mobile. Kbin is also not stable in the sense that new changes are expected and new themes are still being added. I figured I'd wait until it stabilized and/or until someone came up with a decent design you can easily plug and play.
