It's June 21 which means Ani.Social turns another year older! Thanks to everyone who has stuck around and to all the newcomers this month! Unfortunately, I never really tracked our stats but the last birthday post mentioned that we were just a bit under 1000 users and now we're at 1600 with 180+ active users per month! But this is a federated platform, so we have users from all over the Fediverse participating in our communities!
I’m a casual anime fan, my main references being Ghibli, Full Metal Alchemist, Cowboy Bepop etc, in general, I like good art and good scenario.
So I want to follow discussions about this type of anime.
I typed in "ani.social" in my phone browser, expecting to see the normal Lemmy UI. Instead I'm confronted with the Alexandrite front end. I don't think I clicked anything to give me this front end; I think it's a total surprise to me, it's possible I'm an idiot who missed something and accidentally clicked a setting. Asking for help here after clicking around in more settings trying to figure out how to turn it off.
I’ve just experienced something that disturbed me greatly, and I see what I need to do in piefed to prevent this from occurring again. However to mitigate that concern, I plan on making a community to log/journal musings folks want to share on their own. Think of it like actual social media or tumblr where folks write stuff they want to share abroad, but don’t necessarily have to answer to others.
With Anime Owl going the way of the dodo, and having lived through the fall of Aniwave and Anix, is there a possibility for our little corner of Lemmy to have its own community for talk and sharing "totally legit" streaming sites? I know .ml has one but I'd prefer to stay in our yard so to speak.
Hello!
AFAIK Lemmy itself supports GIF profile pictures, as I have used one in the past on another instance. But trying to set one here gives me a "Type Error" pop-up and fails. Are they disabled here?
Nyaa!
