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?

I'm curious to know how many of you attend anime conventions and what your experiences have been like.

I've been to Anime North over here in Toronto. I first started going around a decade ago and haven't missed the convention since then (except when it was cancelled for COVID). I normally just wander around the Vendors Hall and look at all the figurines that will break my wallet if I were to buy them.

Recently I started visiting panels which I generally have avoided in the past. You'll get some good panels that are fun, but you'll also get some absolutely awfully-run panels that makes you question how they even got to host those panels.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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.
