    ?

    I don’t see any anime subs by default just browsing the lemmy.world all page when sorted by hot, active, scaled, or new. So what exactly are you doing, and where do I sign up?

      Seriously, I would love to see anime communities, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one… Lemmy for me seems to be 99% US politics, 0.99% LLM bros trying to sell their scams, 0.01% other posts, of which about 0.01% might actually be interesting… 😐

          Eh, I’m more into tentacles and whatnot.

          Still, we were talking about seeing stuff by default, not by looking it up.

          And the thing about Lemmy and having to look up stuff that you don’t see by default is that once you find it it turns out to be the same dozen or so posts you found the last time you looked. And the previous one. And the one before.

          In the most tragic cases you can see a user posting stuff for a week or two around the time of the Reddit API exodus, hoping to attract other lemmings interested in the same stuff so they’d post their own… and slowly losing hope until they stop. It’s fucking sad.

          Don’t get me wrong, Lemmy is still far better than Reddit is now, and orders of magnitude more alive if you don’t count the bots (Reddit is more alive in the sense that a decomposing corpse full of maggots is more full of life than the poor critter was before dying, except the maggots are bots, which aren’t alive at all), but it’s far from what Reddit was before it killed itself, let alone when when it was good.

          Also, holy necromancy Batman… this thread was about a month old…!

      I’ve had to block a lot of anime subs. It was a problem for a while, but now I hardly see any.

          Not when that thing has dozens of communities for every little nuance a genre can have. For example:

            Block the instance

            Edit: I love anime but my response was for those who don’t. If they want less then subscribe to the local ones and block the anime instances that aren’t local

                I love anime and I’m subscribed on there but if you look at the list if so many came from one instance then just block that instance from the app, I think there might be on the profile. Like:

                Its about charachter art that is adorable and compelling in a way that provokes attachment

                I like the idea of Moe in concept because that’s what it’s supposed to be. But every day it was another upskirt drawing.

                    If it pops up on the top of lemmy.world and isn’t loli, I don’t block it. But there was a time a few months ago when every day was a new Moe that needed to be blocked. They weren’t marked NSFW. But upskirt drawings of young girls are gross.

              I’m with you on this. That may not be the intent, but it sure as hell is the vibe they give off.

                  I absolutely didn’t acknowledge that it isn’t the intent, I said it may not be.

                  I absolutely think that is the intent and I find those communities to be gross and have them all blocked.

                  You are so weirdly defensive about it. Almost like you know a lot of people find it highly questionable and they may have a point. If you think every anime fan is into that crap, you are very sorely mistaken, and if you don’t, you are using inapplicable generalizations to make a point and that’s just deceptive.

          Right (appreciate the sparky comment), but there seem to be anime subs for every little anime niche there could possibly be. If it was all limited to a few anime subs this would never have been an issue. Block one or two communities, and you’re done.

          Instead, you have to play wackamole and block communities every couple of weeks that get created for some new niche that apparently is t filled.

                Because they are the communities main posters.

                If someone would pretend that I spam the All feed with new football communities every few weeks when it’s not the case, I would reply too

            On the other hand, imagine wanting to block Linux communities, it feels like every other day there’s a new one

            I got the impression it’s just a few people and the one I replied to was very hostile. They thought it was their right to post as much borderline loli as possible.

        I had to do this for US politics but I don’t recall when I last saw an anime related post.

      Yes, OP’s post is unpopular.

      I would also like to sign up for Anime news and updates.

      Please lmk how to do this.

        For grins just now I scrolled through ten (10) pages on “all” (i.e. including federated and not just local lemmy.world posts) and sorted by “hot” (the default).

        I got one MurderMoe post, one ChainsawFolk post, and one TouhouProject post.

        …And about ten linuxmemes posts, I didn’t even count how many politics posts, several TenForward posts, like five Lemmy Shitposts entries, quite a few News and World news, and three inscrutable posts in Arabic despite by content language being set to English.

        Barely a single pair of anime tiddies among the whole lot. What a drag.

      It comes and goes in waves I believe. There was a time when you’d see a wave of Moe themed communities. The same has happened for music, and ai too. If you haven’t seen it, or don’t recall, then count yourself lucky.
