This community based around translated Light Novels, Novels, and Web Novels which originate from Japan has been migrated to a new instance: https:// ani . social/c/lightnovels (remove the spaces)

Hey everyone. What seems to have been established itself as the main anime related instance, ani.social, has been defederated from Lemmy.ml.

I am wondering if it would be better to move this community over there so I will copy my posts in ani.social for a while as well and then see where more engagement is happening. Since I create the posts by hand (I can’t program a bot) I don’t want to have this a permanent solution, but I’ll give it at least a few months or until it’s clear where the greener pastures are.

So basically:

  1. There is a new LightNovel community on ani.social now
  2. You can all vote where the permanent home should be by using whichever you like better.

Disclamer I'm a lurker (haven't posted much)

TLDR: I think migrating may be the right call

Background for why de federation from lemmy.ml happened: https://ani.social/post/863176

Assuming anisocial is stable I would think migrating could be better. I also checked ani.social seems to be federating fine with other instances like lemmy.world and even beehaw (which are known to be more strict).

Side note regarding .ml domain:

On a side note with lemmy.ml a similar instance fmhy.ml effectivly got shutdown due to their domain being taken (.ml country domain). lemmy.ml seems to be managing fine but ani.social (.social) seems to be using a top level domain which may pose less of a risk to loss of domain.

thats my two cents
