Hey everyone. What seems to have been established itself as the main anime related instance, ani.social, has been defederated from Lemmy.ml.

I am wondering if it would be better to move this community over here so I will copy my posts from lemmy.ml here in ani.social for a while as well and then see where more engagement is happening. Since I create the posts by hand (I can’t program a bot) I don’t want to have this a permanent solution, but I’ll give it at least a few months or until it’s clear where the greener pastures are.

So basically:

  1. There is a new LightNovel community on ani.social now
  2. You can all vote where the permanent home should be by using whichever you like better.

    Regarding user activity -

    I think it’s just finding the right instance. I think a anime / LN / Manga specific instance like this will do much better than a general instance.

    I found that community by accident from clicking through lots of links. Then I lurked for a bit before trying to be active and comment on each weekly post.

    I find the weekly releases very useful, I haven’t found anywhere else to get that information easily.

    Side note - Let me know if you want to look at some automation. I am not great and haven’t worked with Lemmy before but I have some experience with automating work.

      Well, just comparing the replies to this post between instances paints a clear picture. And that’s without me advertising the community at all apart from a sticky on .ml. I did not expect anyone to find this community on this instance for weeks without me going around other related communities on a proselytizing spree. I assume @wjs018 linking in the sidebar of !anime@ani.social and !manga@ani.social has helped a lot here.

      I would be grateful if there could be a automated post every week. It’s not much work to do them manually but still something I have to do and schedule.
