Since a bunch of new users are arriving from Reddit (including me) maybe it would make sense to port the /r/anime bot that creates episode discussions to Lemmy so there’s regular content here?

The bot is open source: https://github.com/r-anime/holo

Looking at the source it should not be so difficult to add an option to post to Lemmy as well.

Thoughts?

Would something like this be allowed? @N3DSdude@lemmy.ml @Nami@lemmy.ml

    I think for now the posts should be manually created. Having too many posts without any comments would make this place look like a ghost town.

    The dream would be to have episode discussion generation built into a separate instance of lemmy dedicated to anime stuff, but we’re not there yet.

      Have to disagree with that, the only thing worse than posts without comments are no posts at all. Especially since the bot also provides info about the show like where it’s streaming and past episode discussions.

      I would prefer a few initial empty posts for shows that nobody watches (yet) than none at all, it is a sign that something is going on.
