    Downvoted because this is true.

    Y’all watch too many Japanese car-toons, and the apparent age of the female characters is fucking questionable, and every time someone brings it up yous start bleating about projecting to try and excuse it

    Fucking weird, guys

      Considering the art style has big heads and eyes, and omits age-indicating facial details to the point that in some stuff character straight up don’t have noses, I always find it funny when people say adult anime characters look like 10-year-olds.

      Based on what, the way real people look?

          MentalEdge literally keeps the anime communities alive. You have six posts.

          Such rage for something you can just Side Menu > Block Instance for.

      Wait where are you seeing all the sports content? Any sport communities I browse have only a handful of regulars knocking about (don’t get me wrong, I’m glad of them, but it’s not quite the same as Reddit)

          Ah the one from a week ago or so? There were a couple new ones for me in there, but none of the sports I’m interested in (basically football* & rugby) have super active communities. I’m glad I’m an arsenal fan at least because we’re the one team community I’ve seen that seems to have something new every day.

          *The international kind, not NFL

          (Also cheers to you for keeping the content up in the new communities community, definitely found a lot through your posts)

        I’ve been getting a lot of formula 1 and WWF lately, sorting by “all”, “active”, and “new.” I just keep scrolling.

        With sports it is more annoying because they tend to come in through bursts for very specific communities, like individual sports teams. Blocking each sports team community one at a time is like playing whack a mole.

        It isn’t that they are overwhelming the All - Hot feed all the time, but there are bursts where they do.

          Back in the day, when Reddit was a thing, I always wanted some sort of dynamic curated block list. If I were to subscribe to the “sports” block list, then all the current sports subs would be added to my filters. Every time a new sports sub gets created, users have the ability to add that new sub to the dynamic “sports” list. At that point, everyone else that is subscribed to that “sports” list gets that new sub added to their filters automatically.

            Categorizing things for blocklists is great concept, but since most content isn’t even marked for language I doubt the categories would be reliable enough to use.

    Join a smaller instance. As long as members don’t subscribe to the anime communities, they won’t feed into the feed.

              migrated after kbin.run got epstein’s so been around a hot minute.

              either way, deff won’t skip a chance to shill fediverse. personally i prefer mbin as my instance. big believer in decentralized social media and willing to suffer QoL hits for it. fediverse does fix the itch reddit used to fix so high hopes we can get it to the level where it becomes the defacto social media of the world without any of the nasty corpo bullshi that happened as result of web2.0.

    I don’t see any anime subs by default just browsing the lemmy.world all page when sorted by hot, active, scaled, or new. So what exactly are you doing, and where do I sign up?

      Seriously, I would love to see anime communities, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one… Lemmy for me seems to be 99% US politics, 0.99% LLM bros trying to sell their scams, 0.01% other posts, of which about 0.01% might actually be interesting… 😐

        Yes, blocking something you don’t want to see usually results in seeing fewer of that thing.

          Right (appreciate the sparky comment), but there seem to be anime subs for every little anime niche there could possibly be. If it was all limited to a few anime subs this would never have been an issue. Block one or two communities, and you’re done.

          Instead, you have to play wackamole and block communities every couple of weeks that get created for some new niche that apparently is t filled.

            On the other hand, imagine wanting to block Linux communities, it feels like every other day there’s a new one

            Are you actually checking the creation dates on the communities?

            Or are you just mad that there are a lot of them, and that people actually post to them, even months after they get created, and so you end up seeing a new one now and then.

            Because as one of the biggest anime content posters, “every couple weeks” is just not the case. There’s daily content but it’s from a definite group of subs that you absolutely can block.

            Here, I even have a list: https://ani.social/post/284178

            I got the impression it’s just a few people and the one I replied to was very hostile. They thought it was their right to post as much borderline loli as possible.

          Not when that thing has dozens of communities for every little nuance a genre can have. For example:

              I resent that.

              Please don’t go around commenting things that will make readers think “moe” means something it doesn’t.

              And we have different ideas of what “majority” means: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected].

              My reasons for setting up the communities are explicitly non-pornographic, and even the quite sexy content is not the kind anyone faps to.

              Its about charachter art that is adorable and compelling in a way that provokes attachment. Not arousal, or at least not just that.

              The newest [email protected] specifically does not allow lewd content at all, even though it includes adult characters, because I know people like you would instantly make it weird.

              And it is wierd, but not in the fucked up way you’re thinking of.

              I’m with you on this. That may not be the intent, but it sure as hell is the vibe they give off.

                What “vibe”? The only descriptive words this person used are “worst” and “loli” and the obvious extrapolation there is a beyond serius accusation.

                If you can acknowledge it’s not the “intent”, then why the fuck are you still “with” someone who seems to think that judging anime fans together with the absolute worst of humanity, is anywhere close to reasonable?

                  I absolutely didn’t acknowledge that it isn’t the intent, I said it may not be.

                  I absolutely think that is the intent and I find those communities to be gross and have them all blocked.

                  You are so weirdly defensive about it. Almost like you know a lot of people find it highly questionable and they may have a point. If you think every anime fan is into that crap, you are very sorely mistaken, and if you don’t, you are using inapplicable generalizations to make a point and that’s just deceptive.

      It comes and goes in waves I believe. There was a time when you’d see a wave of Moe themed communities. The same has happened for music, and ai too. If you haven’t seen it, or don’t recall, then count yourself lucky.

        Oh, they never stopped. I’m still posting regularly to all of them, but I set up all the ones I wanted, so if you blocked them you wont have seen any new ones pop up in a while.

    You can choose to browse all, local or subscribed. My guess is, you don’t spend much time checking the subscribed feed if you end up seeing stuff you don’t care about. It’s true that pretty much everything in the “all” menu is irrelevant stuff I don’t want to see, so I don’t really check that place very often.
