  The first series that came to mind was Fate. There are a lot of fan orders.

  Ooh sorry, I thinking like Misskey. In the English translation, they use note and renote to replace tweet and re-tweet from Twitter era

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get people to use Mastodon?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  rename boosting to re-tootin

  I would say reserve re-tootin for when quote post lands on mastodon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get people to use Mastodon?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Stop fucking tagging literally anyone who was ever involved in a thread
  OMG yes. It is so annoying it is like someone keep hitting reply all in an email. And it is not just mastodon, *key does this too.

  Someone on mastodon told me, if you haven't found someone on fedi, you ate probably not looking hard enough. But no, I don't think they are on fedi

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you guys recommend romance manga?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here are a few lesser known manga

  • Kyou mo Veranda de (is similar to telework)
  • Misumi-san Can't See Through
  • Tonari no Seki no Yatsu ga Souiu Me de Mitekuru
  • Kesa Mo Yuraretemasu (one of my favorite, it is heavier on the comedy and lighter on the romance)
  • Alice-san Chi no Iroribata (age-gap romance)
  • Ao no Hana, Utsuwa no Mori
  • Haru no Noroi (a very dark romance, with some elements of suicide)
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to find posts reshared by me or by others?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like there should be a dedicated fedihelp community for stuff like this. Also, if you have any microblog account (like mastodon), try asking for help with hashtags like #fedihelp or mentioning the account @FediTips@social.growyourown.services if you don't get any answer here.

  I see that I forgot to add a question mark and incurred the wrath of some very opinionated lemmy users.

  We consider bluesky as part of fediverse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a free speech Lemmy instance⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I swear I have seen this "free speech instance" nonsense at least 3 or 4 times before this in the last month. All with similar combination of words. This is probably a same troll.

  It's a stupid but fun story. If you like to turn your brain off to just casually watch anime, you might like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In your opinion, what is the best English localization of an anime name?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If we are judging by just the localization, then I feel like Darling in the Franxx did a good job. Gurren Lagann was not bad. I find that localization of some of the sci-fi animes does better job compared to other genres.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goodbye FireFish.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  wanted to bring matters up anyway in case it still would be considered useful.

  Honestly, I think the issue is still relevant because many users coming to fedi, don't get exposed to this kind of discussion. I wasn't. I was bored with mastodon so looked around and found firefish. But my instance was shutting down. So I decided to just use the source of all the *key software, misskey and went to sign up for misskey.io but couldn't. I had to search a lot to finally figure out the situation. Later, I joined a smaller instance, instead of the flagship instance. My server admin is amazing. They run an instance that also follows US specific laws as well despite being primarily Japanese server because there are a few english users.

  What I learned all of these is that, mastodon is not fedi, there are a lot of software, look around before you settle down. And instances with small number of users form a better community. So, you don't have to choose the largest instance out there.

  • I am not using misskey because I like loli stuff. I should've worded it better. I love my instance because our admin runs a great server.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goodbye FireFish.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am especially sad because firefish was the first fedi project that I donated to. A lot of people had problems with firefish, but the server I was on was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, they server maintainers foresaw the demise of the software and decided to shut down early this year, on March.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goodbye FireFish.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that was specifically for misskey.io because some western users were breaking some sort of law. I never quite figured out the details. Misskey.io still doesn't let any IP from outside the China-Japan-Korea circle sign up. But there are some instances, that do, and some English language instances there as well.

  Also, misskey and the Japanese side of fedi, tend to tolerate "loli" content to a degree that other side doesn't. My main account is on a misskey server and I love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sub.club aims to fund the fediverse via premium feeds | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  sub.club is not aimed at servers but monetization of content from individual users. Opposing this doesn't mean someone oppose supporting their home instance monetarily.

  With my limited knowledge in the subject, after reading their paper, what I understand is, although they say it like it was a great success, their experiment, in its current state, will fail at scale. But, it is a progress compared to previous methods. Also, photons do not play nice.
