Due to a quirk of how federation works, you cannot discover communities or magazines through search or on “all”, until at least one other user on your instance has manually triggered federation to be “initialized” by searching for that exact community/magazine.

I thought it would be good to keep a list to help us all find the places wed like to participate in. So far, I’ve found, and created some of what is listed below. If you know about or start a new community/magazine, comment! I’ll update the list.

Save this post so you can come back to it as it grows.

Mods of anime communities/magazines, consider copying parts of, or the whole list, into your sidebars.

On Lemmy, if a link does not work on your instance, copy link text into search. If browsing from Kbin, replace /c/ in url with /m/ or enter link text with an @ instead of ! in search.

Specific anime

Kbin magazines, if link does not work, go to the magazine on Kbin, and paste the entire URL into search on your instance. With kbin magazines, the !subname@instan.ce format does not work on lemmy.

    Animoe says:

    For the ones who already have a Lemmy account at another Lemmy server: AniMoe is a standalone server meaning it can’t connect to other Lemmy servers to make this server as simple and most Reddit-like as possible for non-technical users. It’s possible that this will change in the future. This means that you need an account on this site to post, subscribe to communities, etc.

    So seems like they are uninterested in federating for now at least.

      So it seems. I knew that too, but they were visible from other servers for a while, but it stopped working. Must have been unintended.

      I hope they federate! Most people, once they see how the fediverse works, arent going to be interested in making accounts on isolated instances, and the anime community on here is already growing explosively.

      But if they federate like the star trek instance is doing, people will almost certainly flock to it. Unless they do it too late.
