Since a bunch of new users are arriving from Reddit (including me) maybe it would make sense to port the /r/anime bot that creates episode discussions to Lemmy so there’s regular content here?

The bot is open source: https://github.com/r-anime/holo

Looking at the source it should not be so difficult to add an option to post to Lemmy as well.

Thoughts?

Would something like this be allowed? @[email protected] @[email protected]

    For now, I’d rather have a weekly thread for all anime airing this season, to be honest.

      I don’t think a weekly thread makes sense for this because you will be scrolling past spoilers for episodes and shows you didn’t even watch yet.

        That’s a good point, completely forgot about spoilers. I guess if people are fine with tagging spoilers and the thread being full of those, it could work but it’s not ideal, imo.

      Yeah, maybe we should revisit it when the Reddit exodus happens and there are more users. I’m behind on the season anyways.

      I’m assuming Lemmy has a good system for hiding spoilers in comments?

        Domi made a good point, people won’t want to see spoilers of episodes they haven’t watched yet. Forgot about that. I guess it could work if people tagged spoilers but then it would just be a thread full of posts inside spoiler tags.

        As for the system, eh, it’s ok:

        Example

        This is a spoiler

        But I couldn’t see it on Jerboa, only when using Lemmy through a browser. Maybe I’ve missed it or it hasn’t been implemented yet?

        EDIT: Yep, spoiler tags don’t work on Jerboa, as far as I can tell.
