The mod team on r/worldpolitics didn't want to moderate properly and so folks tries to post anime pics and eventually the sub became dedicated to anime.

As part of the joke those folks also made r/anime_titties which ended up becoming the moderated sub to talk about world politics.

I really hope the real anime_titties community comes here, some of the best non-eurocentric news without focusing overmuch on one country or region.

100 years from now .... Anime Titties is the defacto source for world news

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Oh, thank you for this! It was nice having a news source about literally any other country than mine, and I was sad to see one of my few actually useful subs go down the drain

Can you explain how I would subscribe to them on kbin?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

As you see there, their "home" address is https://lemmy.world/c/anime_titties/. That gives them a wider fediverse "address" of [email protected].

Plug that into the correct format URL on your home site - as a kbin.social user, that would be https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] - and from there you subscribe as normal.

Thank you for breaking it down the way you did. It’s the first time I’ve been able to build/read the urls/addresses where it actually makes sense to me.

It’s felt like everyone was saying “the bathroom is to the left” to me in Spanish, but I don’t speak Spanish. You just pulled out Google translate for me lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No problem!

To complete the explanation then, the only other thing I might add is that if you plug that community into your home site's URL format and it doesn't show up, it might mean you're the first person on kbin,social to notice that community. In that case, plug the fediverse "address" ([email protected]) into the search gizmo by your username at the top right and your instance will sync up with it.

I was subbed there too. It's actually a pretty good news subreddit.

lurker reporting for duty

Amazing! A great piece of history. Glad they are moving to discord and Lemmy now!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ahhh, just like /r/trees and /r/marijuanaenthusiasts! That’s fun.

And r/JohnCena and r/potatosalad, and similar to r/superbowl (actually about superb owls)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I get john cena and I'm aware of superbowl (which already has two communities here). What's r/potatosalad?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

r/JohnCena and r/potatosalad switched places because everyone likes potato salad but nobody loves it, so it became a nickname for Cena and the two subreddits decided to swap.

I really loved the reddit community. I hope they migrated to somewhere decent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They list lemmy.world instance in the announcement.

And plants. Lots of plant pics.
