Welp, guess I'll keep consolidating communities to ani.social, .ml is clearly a dangerous place for us weebs to be.
reddthat.com has also been cool, and though I regret setting up !fitmoe@lemmy.world and !murdermoe@lemmy.world on .world now that ani.social exists, I've had no trouble there. The admins were perfectly willing to help me sort it out when I got fitmoe into an "unowned" state due to a bug back in version 17.
I'm not sure the admins of .ml would have bothered based on what I'm seeing of their behaviour.
Luckily the subcounts from .ml are fairly low, the breakdown for the communities I started is as follows:
- !cybermoe@ani.social 17 out of 355
- !fangmoe@ani.social 6 out of 218
- !midriffmoe@ani.social 10 out of 331
- !streetmoe@ani.social 6 out of 210
- !kemonomoe@ani.social 5 out of 265
Even the largest community on ani.social, !animemes@ani.social only loses 7 subs from .ml. Still, with how little support there is for anime content on .ml, it's scary to have communities like !anime@lemmy.ml(8.6k) and !animemes@lemmy.ml(2.7k) call it home. It's difficult to check how many of the users subbed to these are actually ON .ml, tho. You'd have to add up the subcounts on all other instances with users that sub to them.
