I like to promote topic-specific instances so also !anime@ani.social

!otomegames@ani.social !touhou@lemmy.world !visualnovels@lemmy.comfysnug.space (lemmy.comfysnug.space) !visualnovels@ani.social

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 !episode_discussion@ani.social 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!

If it’s worth anything, I figured it was a 50% chance you were a Musk fan and a 50% chance you just liked the pun with no particular fondness for the man.

Well, kbin.run died. Back when I originally made these replies to you I added some then-active, now-dead community recommendations from kbin.run. Is there a way to un-recommend communities, especially dead ones?

Thank you, especially for posting sometimes so that it is not just me screaming into the void!

To be honest I forget, but it was back when I was on kbin.run and within the past 2 weeks. I have tried a few other instances and it does not work from them. Thank you for your advice, I will definitely be putting it to use!

No problem!

I am not sure what to do about certain other communities I followed. !automation_games@feddit.de 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!
