As an anime fan, l'm not feeling welcomed on this instance.

lemmy.ml arbitrarily defederating from ani.social without notice sucks because the shinobu bot doesn't work here.

Not just that, but if the lemmy.ml owners have decided that loli drawn girls are CSAM, then they could banhammer this /c/ at any time as well, because that's how a lot of female characters are drawn.

ani.social, on the other hand is only defederated from Threads, so in theory I could do all my browsing from there instead.

/c/Anime, and /c/Ukraine@sopuli.xyz are all I come here for anyway.

It sucks because this is the largest anime community by membership in lemmyspace, and I appreciate all the work we're putting in to make this community work, but that's how I'm feeling about it.

    Just subbed to !anime@ani.social

    Because of all the defederation stuff and most users being vocally negative about anime in general here, I previously assumed that it was blocked by a lot of instances and didn't think to actually check.

    Moving it makes sense because ani.social seems more like the home for anime on Lemmy, in the same way how programming.dev focuses on programming, discuss.tchncs.de focuses on DIY/electronics, and lemmy.dbzer0.com focuses on digital maritime and copyleft etc.
