Hello everyone, both old and new!
It has become very quickly clear to me that the ani.social instance is a better fit for this community. Comparing the engagement alone over at .ml after 8 months and here after only 3 days is hardly something to dispute. And that isn’t even counting the support from mods of “adjacent” communities. Special thanks to @wjs018@ani.social!
So I decided, with both a heavy heart and anticipatory elation, to go along with the migration and make it permanent. I closed down the .ml community and going forward I’ll post my weekly updates only here.
There is also good news (more good news?)! Honestly, it has been a struggle to keep it up over the last few months, and actually seeing some engagement here right off the bat did wonders for my (renewed) motivation. So yesterday I channeled my inner motivational demon lord and set up 3 things for the community:
- a Light Novel Wiki (reachable at https://lnwiki.bitkata.de/)
- a Discord Server (Invite Link: https://discord.gg/VJ7yrfq2ex)
- a clean Minecraft Server (add “yurgenschmidt.bitkata.de” to your server list)
Necessary (for currently 17 users)? No, but let’s start the new home for the community with a bang ;)
I hope the community will thrive here and we can enrich our reading hobby with additional discussions.
Why thank you. As an occasional VN enjoyer I’ll subscribe and give my impression once I play/read (what’s the correct term here?) one again. I still have The House in Fata Morgana on my Ally installed but just didn’T get around to put more than a few minutes into it. Same goes for The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. But at least I got 2 hours or so in.
I also added the community to the sidebar, maybe it helps a bit with the “just compromised of you" part.
I’ve heard of that VN before on r/visualnovels but haven’t read it, haha. Seems pretty highly-rated though.
“What’s the correct term” - it depends on who you ask,
the community’s figuring that out themselvesTo be honest, the VN community here is rather dead. (It also wasn’t really alive over at Burggit where I migrated over from)
But maybe that’ll change with time and some memes
and some missteps by Reddit, so we’ll see. All the best for your fledging community over here!
