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.

    I think having one community be a hub is a lot better than the split setup we currently have. It makes it hard to discover content, you miss out on discussions, sometimes have to write the same comment twice and if you subscribe to both your feed gets cluttered with duplicate posts.

    Not to mention ani.social being an instance dedicated to anime makes community management there a bit easier (although I'm of the opinion any medium-sized community should just get their own instance given the flexibility in management that provides and then cross-post to hub communities like /c/anime)
