!lightnovels@ani.social for light novels from Japan

!aoblightnovel@bookwormstory.social for Ascendance of a Bookworm specifically (which just recently published its final volume).

Two that are local to me:

• !boston@lemmy.world
• !massachusetts@lemmy.world

@borebore@lemmy.world does an admirable job with these two. I try to chime in when I can, but am mostly busy with the communities I am running elsewhere.

I think that user donations are easier when an instance has a good focus. There are some other instances I can think of where the donation model has been enough to cover things. In addition to feddit.dk and beehaw, an instance I use most of the time, ani.social, is more than covered by donations last I checked. It looks like @hitagi@ani.social even took away the donate link in the sidebar. Never mind, I am just blind. I didn’t notice the little Ko-fi badge at the bottom. I was looking for a text link.

Yeah, spoiler tags are the one big feature that is missing. There are also some minor things on the moderation side that aren’t there. For example, admin accounts don’t have a full list of options in the moderation menu.

Thanks for the clarification!

I am guessing a large portion of those might be inactive accounts as well. When the reddit exodus was at its peak, there were definite issues with the way 2FA worked in lemmy. I think it got reset at one point due to changes made in subsequent lemmy versions and users had to re-enable it.

One recent example from a game that I ran is that my players caused a dust explosion using flour. I had to do some quick googling to figure out how big that might be to best gauge the damage (turns out it can be pretty big), but I awarded inspiration for the creativity (despite getting caught up in the blast themselves). This was also a bit of irony since the people they were attacking were assassins that ran a bakery as cover.

Sorry for not being clear. I was referring to the discussion threads created by @rikka@ani.social in the anime community. So far, she has been creating discussion threads for the episodes in the general community (episode 4 link for reference). In the past, I have disabled these posts for certain shows if there is a dedicated community to the show that wants to run their own discussion posts (!dungeonmeshi@ani.social did this for instance).

Note if it wasn’t clear: I am a mod of the anime community and the maintainer of the rikka bot.

Feel free to make a promo post over in !anime@ani.social as well. Good luck with things! I don’t want to switch it up partway through the season, but if there is ever a season 2 and you want to run your own episode threads instead of the bot-created ones, let me know.
