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.

    So, if I understand correctly, this community is hosted on the lemmy.ml instance, right? I heard bad things about lemmy.ml admins, so I’m wondering whether that was the right choice.

      Oh! Looks like anime.xyz just enabled federation! They were an unfederated anime-only instance, and they seem like a good candidate for a new home instance for the weeb community!

      Yes, but this com is a lot older than the reddit exodus. It was already here three years ago. And the anime community is pretty spread out over the fediverse, which is good, so even if this is a “main” sub, moving it wont be too much trouble if it ever comes to that.
