Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

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... 😐
Futa
Yiff
Hentai
Moe
Fur
Have fun with searches
Eh, I'm more into tentacles and whatnot.
Still, we were talking about seeing stuff by default, not by looking it up.
And the thing about Lemmy and having to look up stuff that you don't see by default is that once you find it it turns out to be the same dozen or so posts you found the last time you looked. And the previous one. And the one before.
In the most tragic cases you can see a user posting stuff for a week or two around the time of the Reddit API exodus, hoping to attract other lemmings interested in the same stuff so they'd post their own... and slowly losing hope until they stop. It's fucking sad.
Don't get me wrong, Lemmy is still far better than Reddit is now, and orders of magnitude more alive if you don't count the bots (Reddit is more alive in the sense that a decomposing corpse full of maggots is more full of life than the poor critter was before dying, except the maggots are bots, which aren't alive at all), but it's far from what Reddit was before it killed itself, let alone when when it was good.
Also, holy necromancy Batman... this thread was about a month old..!
Last 2 weeks I've had to block threads each day, so I finally went through and blocked them, was sharing with OP the word list to search to block and I saw that you were interested so there ya go lmao
I've had to block a lot of anime subs. It was a problem for a while, but now I hardly see any.
Yes, blocking something you don't want to see usually results in seeing fewer of that thing.
Not when that thing has dozens of communities for every little nuance a genre can have. For example:
Block the instance
Edit: I love anime but my response was for those who don't. If they want less then subscribe to the local ones and block the anime instances that aren't local
Damn, I created !dragonball@ani.social there, didn't know it would be so controversial
I love anime and I'm subscribed on there but if you look at the list if so many came from one instance then just block that instance from the app, I think there might be on the profile. Like:
But blocking the whole instance would also block other communities like !anime@ani.social
I don't mean defederated but for the individual who hates amine just a one and done kinda thing
Ah, makes sense
...
So just use that list as a resource for what to block?
At least they are exhaustive
Those moe are the worst because the majority are borderline loli.
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: !officemoe@ani.social, !thiccmoe@ani.social, !fitmoe@lemmy.world.
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 !smolmoe@ani.social 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 weird, but not in the fucked up way you're thinking of.
I like the idea of Moe in concept because that's what it's supposed to be. But every day it was another upskirt drawing.
Then you'll enjoy the ones with posts that are only rarely tagged nsfw:
You keep saying "it's only this thing I don't like" but you haven't even looked, have you?
If it pops up on the top of lemmy.world and isn't loli, I don't block it. But there was a time a few months ago when every day was a new Moe that needed to be blocked. They weren't marked NSFW. But upskirt drawings of young girls are gross.
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.
I know it's an unfortunate reality for anime fans to be lumped in with pedos, and I shut it down the best I can wherever I find it. How the fuck did you get to an interpretation where I'm perpetrating that kind of thinking?
How can you hold those two views simultaneously? Those communities aren't small, are you saying their entire userbases are the worst of the worst?
What? If you think this, you're wrong, if you don't, you're also wrong? Which is it?
Are you saying that I'm pushing the idea that NONE of them are pedos, as if I'm ignoring the probability that at least some of them are?
And it's hardly "wierdly defensive" of me to speak up when I probably created most of the communities you're shitting on.
And as that creator, I can straight up tell you, it's not the "intent".
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
I don't mind the linux communities as much, but there are a lot of them too.
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
Why do you care so much?
Because they are the communities main posters.
If someone would pretend that I spam the All feed with new football communities every few weeks when it's not the case, I would reply too
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.
I had to do this for US politics but I don't recall when I last saw an anime related post.
Check out ani.social and go from there.
Or just look at my post history.
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.
Yes, OP's post is unpopular.
I would also like to sign up for Anime news and updates.
Please lmk how to do this.
For grins just now I scrolled through ten (10) pages on "all" (i.e. including federated and not just local lemmy.world posts) and sorted by "hot" (the default).
I got one MurderMoe post, one ChainsawFolk post, and one TouhouProject post.
...And about ten linuxmemes posts, I didn't even count how many politics posts, several TenForward posts, like five Lemmy Shitposts entries, quite a few News and World news, and three inscrutable posts in Arabic despite by content language being set to English.
Barely a single pair of anime tiddies among the whole lot. What a drag.
This has been my experience. Not complaining tbh but yeah when people complain about how they see "so much x" I begin to wonder if the rage-algo kicked in
I normally find everything I see is in groups. I see either 1 or 2 anime posts, or 45. Never really anything in the middle.
No ich_iel?
No, surprisingly.
You might try ani.social instance for more anime.
There is a post about anime communities on !newcommunities@lemmy.world
