“Moe” refers to the emotional attachment one can feel for fictional characters. It’s use is popular in otaku culture.
Unlike the definition you get if you google the word, the character does not need to be female, vulnerable, innocent, or even young. Moe refers to the feeling experienced by the viewer, not a character type.
You might design a character to elicit moe, but there is no single way to do that. Different people are into different types of characters.
In the context of the communities, which are for character art that is nice to look at, it means what it normally means, as described above.
I like seeing these moe communities, what does Moe mean though?
