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.

      Looks a good bit more populated, too. I’ll add it.

      Oh dear, your comment failed to federate. .world is a bit overloadead so sometimes the stuff you guys do doesn’t get to us. I’m only seeing this now because have this account, too, but it’s an alt.

    I’m starting up a magazine for A Certain Scientific Railgun on Kbin: @railgun

    I’m not sure how to format a link for Lemmy, [email protected] doesn’t seem to work when I click it.

      On lemmy, only pasting the full url into search for mags, gets them to federate. Once at least one user does that tho, you just replace the /m/ in the kbin url with /c/ and it works.

    Hey, just wanted to let you know that the links on the masterpost are redirecting to 404 errors. But I can access them through kbin like this, e.g.,

    https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

    m (magazine) instead of c
    Anime enthusiast here so thanks for the post btw!

    • MentalEdgeOP

      Yes that’s why:

      If browsing from Kbin, replace /c/ in the url with /m/ or enter link text with an @ instead of ! in search.

      Is in the post. Because its in a lemmy Community, and thats how the url works over here. You can find kbin friendly links in the crosspost to the kbin anime magazine: https://kbin.social/m/Anime/t/56085

    overlord doesn’t work. there is also a community for Gundam/Gunpla:

    [email protected]

    and for Bleach:

    [email protected]

    I find it strange that there is still no Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen’s communities yet based on their popularity and I’m sure that in fact they exist and I didn’t find them yet.

    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!

    • MentalEdgeEnglish

      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.

    Animoe says:

    For the ones who already have a Lemmy account at another Lemmy server: AniMoe is a standalone server meaning it can’t connect to other Lemmy servers to make this server as simple and most Reddit-like as possible for non-technical users. It’s possible that this will change in the future. This means that you need an account on this site to post, subscribe to communities, etc.

    So seems like they are uninterested in federating for now at least.

    • MentalEdgeOPEnglish

      So it seems. I knew that too, but they were visible from other servers for a while, but it stopped working. Must have been unintended.

      I hope they federate! Most people, once they see how the fediverse works, arent going to be interested in making accounts on isolated instances, and the anime community on here is already growing explosively.

      But if they federate like the star trek instance is doing, people will almost certainly flock to it. Unless they do it too late.

      I checked your instance, no-one has subbed to it there yet, so that’s why are getting a 404 when trying to use the link. Follow the instructions at the top of the list to get it federated over to aussie.zone.

        • MentalEdgeOPEnglish
          2•2 years ago

          Unreachable is not something I’ve ever seen, just “No results” which you might get for a good minute, while it gets the info from the newly federated community. I sometimes have to come back and do the search again to give it a minute to do that.

          At the very least you should be getting mine and your mentions of it as results.

      No worries, I’ll handle any formatting for the list.

      Edit: list updated
