Hello everyone,

Basically the title.

In my case, I'm trying to address the regularly brought up issue about Lemmy/Kbin only being about memes, tech and news.

Hence, I'm trying to post regularly on

As we all know, growing a community is hard, but I hope that over time they will become more populated.

!manga@kbin.social

It's pretty much a lost cause, at least for now, but I keep posting anyway. And it's not like it's an imposition - I check in on Mangadex a few times a day anyway, to catch up on my follows and maybe browse the new updates, so I just post discussion threads for the stuff I like and would like to discuss.

Years ago, I used to post a lot on the Reddit manga sub. It was always much more active, but my tastes in manga are obscure enough that most of what I was following didn't get posted otherwise. But then the sub grew to the point that there were more enthusiastic posters even posting that, so I stopped.

That's made it sort of awkward on kbin though, since I'm still just posting the sort of obscure stuff I like. In order to grow the community, it would be better to post more popular series, but that just seems sort of dishonest to me. It seems to me that if I'm not even reading a series myself, I have no business posting it.

So it goes...
