It’s definitely something I noticed about some communities here. Sometimes there will be active threads and nobody using the microblog, and other time the page will be empty, but the microblog is bustling. I think it might be because the magazines are made up of communities built from lemmy or mastodon, and the mastodon communities simply live in the microblog.
It seems to be the only way for me to see locality based content since my city’s magazine is empty otherwise

Thanks for this - I hadn’t looked at these. I don’t really understand why this type of stuff isn’t a post.
So it’s mostly mastodon etc posts that use the magazine’s hashtag, which is pretty neat
