The bad, although expected news is that according to Similarweb via Gizmodo Reddit traffic is back to pre-protest levels. The caveat is that some of the traffic might still indicate protests, (i.e. John Oliver pics). Most interesting:

However, Similarweb told Gizmodo traffic to the ads.reddit.com portal, where advertisers can buy ads and measure their impact, has dipped. Before the first blackout began, the ads site averaged about 14,900 visits per day. Beginning on June 13, though, the ads site averaged about 11,800 visits per day, a 20% decrease.

For June 20 and 21, the most recent days for which Similarweb has estimates, the ads site got in the range of 7,500 to 9,000 visits, Carr explained, meaning that ad-buying traffic has continued to drop.>>>

kbin magazines can be retrieved as an rss feed -- at the bottom of the magazine's web page is the recognizable "rss icon" which contains the url of the rss feed (the icon near the top for lemmy community web pages). i use these rss urls with my miniflux aggregator to group kbin/lemmy magazines/communities into more digestible subject categories -- very useful during this early period when there are multiple magazines for the same topic.

As nice as the kbin webpage looks, even tweaked with the appropriate userscripts, i prefer browsing topics with the minimalistic category oriented UI of miniflux (which works both on the desktop and the mobile device).
