No, definitely not normal. I have been experiencing this for about a week too - but because of the nature of the issue, I'm not sure anyone can see the threads opened to alert people of them.
I'm searching up my interests and finding magazines for those interests, but there is absolutely no content in a vast majority of them. If the curious Reddit users coming here don't find content when they search up their interests they won't stay long and this site will fail.
The people that create Magazines should also propagate content into them. If they are not passionate about the subject enough to propagate even a few starter pieces of content I wonder why they started the magazine in the first place. Do they just want to be the top mod?
This site is filled with people that are just mad at Reddit, but that anger at Reddit isn't what will cause this site to grow and become a thriving environment. This site needs content.
@slybird A vast majority of the magazines we're blitzed on day one with hopes that we would fill them up as the torrent of people came over. People quickly found that there were already thriving communities out on lemmy for the same topics, so many magazines were abandoned. It's an issue that @ernest is aware of.
In the mean-time, someone was nice enough to make this site to help people find those thriving communities that have migrated away from reddit: https://sub.rehab/
