With possumpat.io going offline soon, I figured it’s worth talking about where to move what little content gets posted here. There’s Gundam and Gunpla comms on both world and Blåhaj, but they’re pretty dead with inactive mods. The logical home would seem to be ani.social, but there’s no existing comm there.

I have zero interest in being a mod. Dunno if anyone else wants to give it a whirl, or if there are active comms I missed. The other option is to just be a very small minority in the general anime comms. Which is probably the logical choice, just kind of a bummer since Gundam is very much its own thing at this point. Huge in the grand scheme of things, but there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of overlap with the general Lemmy demographic.

    Hey, thanks for the tag. Here’s my two cents.

    I think basically being absorbed into a general anime community would be the best bet, as you said. If there just isn’t a large number of people, then fragmenting the general community doesn’t seem like a good idea even though having a Gundam space is ideal. If Lemmy grows in size and Gundam, for some reason, gets more popular, maybe it would be the time to branch off. Even lumping Gundam into a larger Mecha community would be worth it. But to me it’s all about where the people are at.
