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

Animoe is currently not working, it is possible they did not intend to federate

animoe.xyz looks to have enabled federation, we can now access this anime-specific instance without creating an account on it. Go check it out, and post something, it is very empty due to how new it is!

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.

    Unreachable is not something I’ve ever seen, just “No results” which you might get for a good minute, while it gets the info from the newly federated community. I sometimes have to come back and do the search again to give it a minute to do that.

    At the very least you should be getting mine and your mentions of it as results.
