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.

    I meant to suggest that you do likewise in coms you mod. It will help discovery immensely, especially as [email protected] is by far the easiest to find. For now, my post is fairly prominent and as such easy to find, but I intend to keep it up to date indefinitely, meaning you could cover this with a single link for a good while into the future.

    It can’t be a link to the post in any given user’s local instance, lemmy cant link things that way yet, but they’ll still be able to open the list and see the community names.
