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, copy link text into search. If browsing from Kbin, replace /c/ in url with /m/ or enter link text with an @ instead of ! in search.

Kbin magazines, if link does not work, go to the magazine on Kbin, and paste the entire URL into search on your instance. With kbin magazines, the !subname@instan.ce format does not work on lemmy.

I think I'm done with making communities for now:

Oh dear, your comment failed to federate. .world is a bit overloadead so sometimes the stuff you guys do doesn't get to us. I'm only seeing this now because have this account, too, but it's an alt.

I've seen there's another One Piece community on fmhy.ml at https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/onepiece. I haven't checked it out because I'm far behind and didn't wanna end up spoiling myself on something.

Looks a good bit more populated, too. I'll add it.

I'm starting up a magazine for A Certain Scientific Railgun on Kbin: @railgun
I'm not sure how to format a link for Lemmy, !railgun@kbin.social doesn't seem to work when I click it.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 3y
On lemmy, only pasting the full url into search for mags, gets them to federate. Once at least one user does that tho, you just replace the
/m/in the kbin url with/c/and it works.atocci@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Thanks! Got it working from Lemmy.world now with !railgun@kbin.social
ludu@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 3y
So, if I understand correctly, this community is hosted on the lemmy.ml instance, right? I heard bad things about lemmy.ml admins, so I'm wondering whether that was the right choice.
MentalEdge@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Oh! Looks like anime.xyz just enabled federation! They were an unfederated anime-only instance, and they seem like a good candidate for a new home instance for the weeb community!
MentalEdge@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Yes, but this com is a lot older than the reddit exodus. It was already here three years ago. And the anime community is pretty spread out over the fediverse, which is good, so even if this is a "main" sub, moving it wont be too much trouble if it ever comes to that.
Tununias@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
The !bocchitherock@sopuli.xyz community has a link to another bocchi community for shitposting. !okbuddybocchi@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz
azurekbn@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Hey, just wanted to let you know that the links on the masterpost are redirecting to 404 errors. But I can access them through kbin like this, e.g.,
m (magazine) instead of c
Anime enthusiast here so thanks for the post btw!
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 3y
Yes that's why:
Is in the post. Because its in a lemmy Community, and thats how the url works over here. You can find kbin friendly links in the crosspost to the kbin anime magazine: https://kbin.social/m/Anime/t/56085

Animoe says:
So seems like they are uninterested in federating for now at least.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 3y
So it seems. I knew that too, but they were visible from other servers for a while, but it stopped working. Must have been unintended.
I hope they federate! Most people, once they see how the fediverse works, arent going to be interested in making accounts on isolated instances, and the anime community on here is already growing explosively.
But if they federate like the star trek instance is doing, people will almost certainly flock to it. Unless they do it too late.

I don't know if this list is still actively updated but I made the following:
Anyone is welcome to make anime communities at ani.social btw <3
erin@lemmy.sidh.bzh · 2 pts · 3y
overlord doesn't work. there is also a community for Gundam/Gunpla:
!gundam@possumpat.io
and for Bleach:
!Bleach@lemmy.ml
I find it strange that there is still no Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen's communities yet based on their popularity and I'm sure that in fact they exist and I didn't find them yet.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 3y
Only found !enemystands@lemmy.world for Jojo. Also added instructions on how to trigger federation from search, if links do not work.

No worries, I'll handle any formatting for the list.

!manga@lemmy.ml seems to be unreachable.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 3y
I checked your instance, no-one has subbed to it there yet, so that's why are getting a 404 when trying to use the link. Follow the instructions at the top of the list to get it federated over to aussie.zone.
Leyana@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 3y
Sorry could you explain it to me like I'm stupid? I tried pasting both !manga@lemmy.ml and https://aussie.zone/c/manga@lemmy.ml into the lemmy search bar but get "!manga@lemmy.ml is unreachable".
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 3y
Unreachable is not something I've ever seen, just "No results" which you might get for a good minute, while it gets the info from the newly federated community. I sometimes have to come back and do the search again to give it a minute to do that.
At the very least you should be getting mine and your mentions of it as results.

Could be good for a while, but long term linking it in the sidebar should do. That also works on other coms, so this post could become a discovery hub, easy to find as long as you can search up one anime community.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 3y
@N3DSdude@lemmy.ml Hello! Would be cool to have permalink in the sidebar to this list maybe? I added one on both my subs (murdermoe and fitmoe).
N3DSdude@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
Hi, yeah sure that's fine.
MentalEdge@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
I meant to suggest that you do likewise in coms you mod. It will help discovery immensely, especially as !anime@lemmy.ml is by far the easiest to find. For now, my post is fairly prominent and as such easy to find, but I intend to keep it up to date indefinitely, meaning you could cover this with a single link for a good while into the future.
It can't be a link to the post in any given user's local instance, lemmy cant link things that way yet, but they'll still be able to open the list and see the community names.
MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
There's also another one piece community at onepiece@discuss.tchncs.de
Machefi@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 3y
And you can try Lemmy Explorer or Lemmy Community-Browser to search communities.
MalachiAzrael@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
The animoe.xyz links seem to be spotty. Not sure if it just the federation sorting itself out or the person running the instance testing things.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 3y
Yeah so like I explain in this very post, the links wont work until at least one user on your instance manually uses search to find and sub to a community. And subbing to just one wont bring all the communities on that other instance to yours. Each one needs to have least one sub, to be searchable without the exact name/url and to appear in "all". I explain how to trigger the initial connection for links that don't work on your instance, at the start of the list.
MalachiAzrael@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Ah sorry I didnt realise that was also true for links. Thanks alot :)

I think that's how you format it? I included the direct links to the instance just in case

Oh goodie, I might cross post this to there, with links that work better in kbin.
Edit: Done: kbin.social/m/Anime/t/56085
