Due to a quirk of how federation works, you cannot discover communities or magazines through search or on “all”, until at least one other user on your instance has manually triggered federation to be “initialized” by searching for that exact community/magazine.

I thought it would be good to keep a list to help us all find the places wed like to participate in. So far, I’ve found, and created some of what is listed below. If you know about or start a new community/magazine, comment! I’ll update the list.

Save this post so you can come back to it as it grows.

Mods of anime communities/magazines, consider copying parts of, or the whole list, into your sidebars.

On Lemmy, if a link does not work on your instance, copy link text into search. If browsing from Kbin, replace /c/ in url with /m/ or enter link text with an @ instead of ! in search.

Specific anime

Kbin magazines, if link does not work, go to the magazine on Kbin, and paste the entire URL into search on your instance. With kbin magazines, the !subname@instan.ce format does not work on lemmy.

    The animoe.xyz links seem to be spotty. Not sure if it just the federation sorting itself out or the person running the instance testing things.

      Yeah so like I explain in this very post, the links wont work until at least one user on your instance manually uses search to find and sub to a community. And subbing to just one wont bring all the communities on that other instance to yours. Each one needs to have least one sub, to be searchable without the exact name/url and to appear in “all”. I explain how to trigger the initial connection for links that don’t work on your instance, at the start of the list.
