With possumpat.io going offline soon, I figured it’s worth talking about where to move what little content gets posted here. There’s Gundam and Gunpla comms on both world and Blåhaj, but they’re pretty dead with inactive mods. The logical home would seem to be ani.social, but there’s no existing comm there.

I have zero interest in being a mod. Dunno if anyone else wants to give it a whirl, or if there are active comms I missed. The other option is to just be a very small minority in the general anime comms. Which is probably the logical choice, just kind of a bummer since Gundam is very much its own thing at this point. Huge in the grand scheme of things, but there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of overlap with the general Lemmy demographic.

    Hey, thanks for the insight. I’ve tried to do the content-posting routine and at this point I think it’s just a numbers/demographics thing. Just seems too niche for Lemmy’s current user base. There seem to be only a handful of us.

    I’m not against moving instances at all - in fact it’s kind of required in this case since the server is getting shut down. Ani.social seems to be the best bet. I agree that not much modding seems necessary for these smaller comms, hell pretty much all of the Gundam comms are free-range at this point. Even still, it’s not something I can take on at this moment. Just too much going on IRL… adding more responsibility, even lightweight stuff, is not a good idea.

    Is there a meta comm for ani.social? I might toss out the idea there and see if anyone wants to mod.
