New week, new general thread! Our friends over at lemmy.world are back in sync with us, so welcome back everybody! Having everybody in sync certainly makes my moderating life easier. Like normal, feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.
Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).
I have seen a couple new faces making posts over the past week or two, so that is always welcome. I still vividly remember when it was basically just me (and I think Rottcodd was one of the very early folks) making posts, so I am glad every time I see a chapter get posted by somebody before I get a chance to read it. Lemmy as a whole has seen some activity drop off, but the anime/manga/LN communities on ani.social have been growing…slowly, but hopefully sustainably.
I feel you. I also tried to kick-start a community pretty much since my first day on fediverse but gave up recently. Granted, my topic was way more niche than anime or manga but screaming into a void for so long gets tiring. Now I try to help with content in places with at least some amount of life in them - hopefully we’ll have a bit more discussions in the future.
