Don’t you think you’ve created enough dead communities?

Added your instance to the list of specialized instances

Subscribed. I’ve seen an anime or two in my day, so I might be able to help identify.

Making it on a kbin instance was a good choice. :D

It’s not mine, actually. @PlutoParty was the one that requested it. :)

Added you to the list of specialized instances.

Having the NSFW patch will be nice. Hiding NSFW for logged-out users with no way to change it is a really irritating design decision on the part of the lemmy devs. Though the patch used on lemmynsfw doesn’t seem to work right. Maybe ask pornlemmy about the patch that they use? Also, remember to share whatever changes you make, since lemmy is licensed under the AGPL.

For the incognito patch, could you make it toggle-able, or part of one of the alternate UIs? I like having access to stuff in my browser history. It might be better just to remind people to switch their browser to incognito mode.

Also, you may want to hammer out an explicit policy early on of what types of content you will and won’t allow, and what kinds of instances you will and won’t federate with. This will help avoid having the kind of drama that happened on lemmynsfw.

I had been trying to grow these two:

• kbin.social/m/Animemes / /c/Animemes@kbin.social
• kbin.social/m/anime_irl / /c/anime_irl@kbin.social

They were reasonably popular on reddit, 3m+ and 2m+ subscribers respectively. I started posting once per day to each of them soon after I migrated over, though my meme stash has mostly run dry at this point (I do have a bit more to post to anime_irl). There are some regular posters in anime_irl now, but animemes has been pretty dead since I stopped posting. I’ve also promoted them in the usual places.

There’s also my own community, kbin.social/m/specialized_instances / /c/specialized_instances@kbin.social, for cataloging topic/location focused instances. It works fine as a solo project, but I wouldn’t mind having more suggestions of things to add to the list.

Yeah, discoverability isn’t great for communities that aren’t already popular. BTW, I’m not saying “join this instead”, but rather “consider cross-subscribing”.

There’s also https://programming.dev/c/emudev

So is the concern (for lemmy.zip) that .zip domains might go away, due to the potential for abuse?

Lemmy is licensed under the AGPL, so they’re required to share modifications to the source code. I wouldn’t necessarily come out swinging at them, but you may want to inquire. lemmynsfw was also running a similar patch at one point, so it might be worth reaching out to them too.

There could be downsides that I’m not considering. I figure that:

• People going to porn sites normally don’t have to register to see the porn, so requiring login is kinda jarring
• You can’t tell if registration would be worth the effort if you can’t see what the content is like
• It’s hard to figure out what communities you would want to subscribe to if you’re doing so from another instance

You should consider applying the patch that pornlemmy.com uses, so that people can see your posts and communities without being logged in.

Just /c/ShermanPosting@kbin.social is better

I was going to submit this community to sub.rehab today, but it just barely meets their criteria (“at least 3 posts that are not submitted by the community’s moderator team”). May be better to wait until it gets a bit more activity.

I see <a href="">!Animemes</a>

Not from my end, that’s what I typed. Kbin and kglitch may be on different versions?

Nope. :/

Ah, I guess it does. What about for kbin magazines? !Animemes

Not sure if it works on kbin? !newcommunities
