What’s your favorite arc? Mine’s gonna be either the Ice Kaguya or the Hayasaka arc

Lemmings?

You can access and comment in Lemmy from kbin, but I’m not sure if you can do the same for Mastodon. But Mastodon users can certainly use their accounts to comment on Lemmy. The beauty of the fediverse (or threadiverse, as some guys like to call it)

Think of instances as “continents” where communities (think of them as “countries”) and users set up their base. For example, you’re now in the lemmy.world instance. That means you are a resident of the lemmy.world instance.

You can “travel” to other instances and participate in the communities they have there too and vice versa.

You only need one account to access the entire Lemmy network. So you can still access the movies community on lemmy.ml if it does become the definitive one and considering that it’s the “main” instance right now, that shouldn’t be hard either.

I mean, I’m commenting here in lemmy.world from lemmy.ml

The niche anime ones. Where’s my bros at r/Kaguya_sama? r/SpyxFamily? r/swordartonline? etc?

Though I’m happy that I’ve seen one niche anime community today and that’s Bocchi the Rock’s.

I’d wager that next month this community will not be that small anymore, then it could be ramped up.

To hasten that process, a subtle information drive on r/anime and other anime-related subs about Lemmy could be done. The problem is with the login process and the slight learning curve that Lemmy comes with. Hope the devs solve it sooner and streamline it better.

Glad I could help!

As a fellow noob, take what I’ll say with a grain of salt, but my understanding of the servers is that think of them like this:

• Servers (i.e., Beehaw, lemmy.ml, lemmy.world etc) are “continents”
• Communities (i.e., AskLemmy) are “countries”

Every “country” is located in a “continent”. So AskLemmy “country” is located on the lemmy.ml “continent”. Users also have a home “continent”, that is where you sign up. So for example, you signed up for Beehaw, therefore you “live” in the Beehaw “continent”. I signed up here in lemmy.ml, so I live in the lemmy.ml “continent”.

Now if you sign up at Beehaw or in any other server, you can “travel” to the other “continents” (servers) and visit the “countries” (communities) that have their home base there and participate there too. So you, for example, can participate here in AskLemmy, which is located on the lemmy.ml “continent”. Sometimes your home “continent” issues a “travel ban” on particular “continents”, therefore you cannot visit that “continent” or the “countries” in them.

Now what the hell is kbin? Think of Kbin as another “planet”. They are fundamentally different from our “planet” (which is Lemmy), but residents from that “planet” can visit our planet and participate as well via a spaceship infrastructure known as ActivityPub.

Sorry if I used geography terms to illustrate my point. There’s a lot of nuance removed, but I think I got it nailed down based on my understanding. Take it with a grain of salt though.

I’d like an optimization for Jerboa as well as more customization for our accounts. Jerboa is fine as it is functional, but sometimes text boxes just extend all the way to the edge of the screen and makes it not visually appealing. I’m still learning though as I’m currently figuring out how to visit the communities in the other servers.

As for communities, I just hope that a mass migration of even 10% of Reddit’s disappointed users would help boost the growth of Lemmy communities and help make niche communities thrive. I personally am a subscriber to the writing and anime subreddits, so I hope there’ll be similar communities here.
