For alternative FASHION: goth, dark alt, grunge, punk, harajuku, whatever! This means MAKEUP and CLOTHING. This is NOT a music community. What makes a look alternative?: Just ask yourself, do you see the day to day average person wearing this? No? Does it catch your eye for being different? Yes? Then it is likely alternative fashion! This category is massive. read my post about this here _*Note: In the context of fashion, the term 'goth' has evolved and may not necessarily reflect the goth subculture (a goth is anyone who listens to goth music). To respect real goths, I prefer using 'alt' instead. I reserve the term 'goth' for clarity to the average person._

hey thanks so much for this advice! yea, ive been posting on here from both my kbin acc and lemmy account, not a single other person has posted since it's creation a month ago, im at 85 posts here. so i got a bit discouraged admittedly. i have shared this community on !newcommunities and i thiiiink @maghub. i didn't really get any attention from that sadly.

the reason this is focused on fashion is because there is already a goth music mag and i felt like widening the fashion from dark alt (goth, punk, grunge, etc) to EVERY single fashion style that isn't conventional was wide enough, that's pretty much everything. as for the 'looking horrible' in fishnets thing, none of my posts are OC! i pull my content from pinterest. it doesn't need to be yourself, just sharing cool fashion.

thanks for the advice on the customization, i already know css so thankfully i customize my mags to my hearts content but i don't go overboard, because some people have said they dislike it, esp background images. so i limited it to the mag sidebar, not sure if you can see it? it's pretty obvious, i may have had too much fun with the icon tho lol.

about frequency. yea, i did do that, i just got burnt out recently. i was posting everyday until i was literally rate limited trying to fill the content. and just,, nothing came of it so far. i am truly shocked that this post randomly blew up, and i really dont know why. this is my 85th post and the only one who has gotten such attention. the audience you speak of was either pretty much nonexistent/lurking/or only existed since this post lol.

ill definitely consider starting to post again since now it seems more people have seen my mag and what ive been posting. thank you for taking the time to write this
