For me, it’s more like “Did I accidentally drop a hot take and got the entire community to go against me?”

Out of curiosity, what’s so shitty about the conventions near where you live?

Some alternatives you might want to consider:

[email protected]

[email protected] (it appears that @[email protected] might be rolling out their own episode discussion bot, which is something I’m looking forward to)

[email protected] (no activity here, but it looks like a new community and they’re looking for a moderator)

I want Lemmy to succeed as well, but not at the cost of growing a community for a subreddit hoarder. The two of us being here is a step forward in ensuring the success of Lemmy.

The last action by a moderator on that c/ was from 27 days ago according to their mod log.

It’s really unfortunate that the largest anime community on Lemmy is operated by a person who currently “moderates” 292 subreddits on Reddit. And if any reasonable moderator can tell you, there’s no way you can possibly be able to split your time across that many subreddits.

In my honest opinion, literally any other anime community is better than the one owned by a subreddit hoarder. This entire idea of hoarding subreddits/communities goes against the single most important principle of Lemmy, which is federation.

But I can’t change your opinion. What you do next is up to you.

I think it wouldn’t hurt to upvote more than what you normally do on Reddit while you’re on Lemmy. The community here is smaller and it’ll benefit a lot of more people interacted with the site by upvoting.

I’m bouncing around Reddit and Lemmy. Won’t be contributing much to Reddit anymore and will be posting and commenting on Lemmy.

Thanks for creating the list!

I do have a concern with [email protected], though. That community is moderated by a subreddit hoarder on Reddit (u/N3DSdude). You might not want to promote a community ran by a subreddit hoarder who doesn’t give a shit about their community.

Also, you posted [email protected] twice by mistake. :P

Anime --> [email protected]

Broken link? Doesn’t work anymore. If you’ll be replacing an alternative, I suggest not substituting it with [email protected] as that one’s owned by an infamous subreddit hoarder on Reddit.

Did you forget to post an image? I can’t see anything.

Did you forget to post an image here or something?

@[email protected] might be able to answer your question.

My gripe with [email protected] is that one of their mod (N3DSdude) is a subreddit hoarder on Reddit. Not only is he inactive in most of the subreddit he moderates on Reddit, he’s also inactive on Lemmy. This person has no interest in growing the community aside from hoarding as many communities on Lemmy as possible.

There needs to be another c/anime on a different instance.

You’ve raised another important thing I’ve never thought of: How do we even know how connected an instance is to other instances aside from hearing from other users. I didn’t even know Beehaw was defederated until you mentioned it.

Thanks! I’ve made the correction. No idea how to ping you like on Reddit.

But it hardly matters to the user because it’s all federated anyway

Unless you unknowingly joined a community that was defederated by everyone else.

The anime community. Seems awfully dead over here on Lemmy. :/

Since no one is posting it, here are the names of each of these apps:

• S tier

  • Wefwef
  • Lemmy (not an app, just use Lemmy on your mobile’s web browser)

• A tier

  • Connect for Lemmy (Android only)
  • Liftoff (Android, Windows, Linux, MacOS, and iOS (TestFlight))

• B tier

  • Jerboa (Android only)

• C tier

  • Summit (Android only)
  • (I don’t know the second C-tier app) Lemmynade (this is the old name for Liftoff (thanks [email protected]))

• D tier

  • Lemmotif (Android | iOS (Testflight))

The other big issue with Liftoff is that you can’t search for communities outside of your own instance without first adding the instance said community is hosted on. Unless someone can correct me on that.

I’m jumping between Reddit and Lemmy. Some subreddits have all of their mods booted out (r/GoCommitDie and r/OpenAI are two I can think of). Some subreddits have decided to flag their subreddit as NSFW but are being threatened by Reddit to reverse that move, and many have returned to business as usual.

Let’s face it. We’ve lost the API protest. All we can do now is make Lemmy popular and make it attractive to other users. Give people an incentive to actually join here. Our job here is not to make Lemmy a copy of Reddit. We need to make Lemmy different (in a good way!).

And here’s an unpopular opinion: we need to make Lemmy easy to use and understand. If normies find Lemmy difficult to use or understand, then we’re fucked.

My personal opinion is that normies might get confused by the fediverse and might be turned away by thinking they need to make an account on every single instance in order to participate in them. I am not proposing that we get rid of federation. What I am proposing is that we somehow make it clearer to everyone that all you really need is one account and you can get access to everywhere. I don’t know how we can do this, but I’m sure there is someone who knows.
