  • Thanks for the “mostly fanart posts” disclaimer. Back on Reddit and now on Lemmy, a big issue I have with anime communities is it is often just Pixiv/Twitter/Danbooru art reposts. It is kind of annoying because I want to talk about the anime, not see art reposts. Yes, I understand Lemmy is a link aggregator and so that is a valid use of Lemmy, and my frustration is likely an uncommon opinion given this is how most anime communities are and there seems to be lots of upvoting and little pushback. Guess that’s what [email protected] is for, but you would still think you would find more discussion about AnimeName on the community named AnimeName. All goes to say, thank you for that disclaimer!



  • Likewise. I watch anime for entertainment, and if that means I miss an influential series (whether due to lack of time or just plain old lack of interest) I’m fine with it.

    I do tend to be somewhat picky but it also means that I rarely end up feeling like I wasted my time watching a show—I am fairly aware of my own tastes and what I might like and dislike, though I can 100% still be surprised, and so I usually end up picking shows I’d actually like. I might have excluded some I’d like but I have also excluded shows I would feel I wasted my time by watching, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯







  • No problem!

    I am not sure what to do about certain other communities I followed. [email protected] seems to still be active from the last time I could access kbin.run, even though feddit.de is gone and some instances cannot see the community at all (probably because feddit.de is dead. I am guessing kbin.run could probably see it because an account—probably mine—was subscribed before feddit.de died), and its mod is active. I messaged them about moving at least a week ago, no reply (will be resending because that message was sent with my now-inaccessible kbin.run account). Not sure if it would be bad etiquette to just start my own somewhere not-dead.

    Not a Musk fan but your username is great!
