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, it into search. If browsing from Kbin, replace /c/ in url with /m/ or enter the community name with an @ instead of ! in search.
Users on Fedia.io/Lemmy.ml
Your instance does not federate with ani.social, the largest (only?) anime centered instance. Consider setting up an account somewhere else, or maybe on ani.social.

Some basic communities most people should like. I've marked other communities that I personally follow as "active" but other communities are also alive. And if the aren't, make em alive :D
