Is there a plan for an equivalent of r/analogcommunity over here? Or is the thought to keep it all together until more people show up?

A film photography community where you can share your photos and ask about anything.

I kind of liked them being separate, because sometimes I want to just look at photos, and other times I'm more specifically looking for information. I feel like /r/analogcommunity being separate (and more information based) was nice because things were less likely to get lost among all the photos.
I agree. I by and large only went to r/analog when I wanted to look at photos, but I kept subscribed to the community page to see/answer questions.
Hey, sorry for going quiet. It's been a busy few days as I'm sure you can imagine.
We were looking into several different federated instances and tried to pick up analog and analogcommunity on a few. On this particular kbin instance, despite there not apparently being an analogcommunity magazine, I was unable to reserve that spot.
We're still evaluating whether or not we'll ultimately be moving here or to lemmy.world, as it's dependent somewhat on whether or not kbin is able to stabilize (no shade there, we understand that a sudden influx of users is very hard to deal with), and also on whether people show greater propensity to favor lemmy as well.
The image thumbnails on the microblogging portion of the site are stretched or compressed horizontally to some non-square aspect ratio.
This is really, truly unfortunate for sharing photos. Is this configurable? Is there some non-web client I ought to be using?
I think it's a sort of bug with how Kbin shows these thumbnails specifically. They look ok if I search for these posts from a Lemmy instance. Something that'll be fixed soon, I'm sure. I might actually check if anyone's working on it and try and send a correction myself.
