Hello everyone, both old and new!

It has become very quickly clear to me that the ani.social instance is a better fit for this community. Comparing the engagement alone over at .ml after 8 months and here after only 3 days is hardly something to dispute. And that isn’t even counting the support from mods of “adjacent” communities. Special thanks to @wjs018@ani.social!

So I decided, with both a heavy heart and anticipatory elation, to go along with the migration and make it permanent. I closed down the .ml community and going forward I’ll post my weekly updates only here.

There is also good news (more good news?)! Honestly, it has been a struggle to keep it up over the last few months, and actually seeing some engagement here right off the bat did wonders for my (renewed) motivation. So yesterday I channeled my inner motivational demon lord and set up 3 things for the community:

  1. a Light Novel Wiki (reachable at https://lnwiki.bitkata.de/)
  2. a Discord Server (Invite Link: https://discord.gg/VJ7yrfq2ex)
  3. a clean Minecraft Server (add “yurgenschmidt.bitkata.de” to your server list)

Necessary (for currently 17 users)? No, but let’s start the new home for the community with a bang ;)


I hope the community will thrive here and we can enrich our reading hobby with additional discussions.

    Big fan of the migration, didn’t want to bring it up but lemmy.ml certainly isn’t the right place for anything Anime/Manga/LN related. The moderation climate was a bit too similar to reddit over there when it comes to this niche.
