Another week in the books. Let's chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

It would be nice if discussion threads for mangas include their English title in the post. I find it hard to read Romaji.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I sympathize as super long romaji titles don't really tell me much other than some key words I have learned over the years. I can try to do this, but I find it especially difficult when posting from mobile. Lemmy will auto-grab the title from the mangadex link which is in romaji (that I then edit a bit before posting), but getting the English title isn't as simple.

[–] Endmaker 3 points 7 months ago

I've been doing it manually by copy-pasting both English and Romaji titles.

[–] Essence_of_Meh 2 points 7 months ago

I tend to just use whatever variant Lemmy auto suggestion provides since it doesn't really matter to me but I'll keep that in mind whenever I post new chapters. It makes sense to use English titles in an English community anyway.

Guess this is mostly my fault. I post (and read) only from my phone. When I see a new chapter in Tachiyomi, I hold the title to copy the name in the clipboard. I then switch to Lemmy and create the thread title with [DISC] paste the title, and whatever chapter it is. Then I switch back to Tachi and, go into the web view for the chapter and copy its link which I then post in Lemmy.

Since I have been using this routine for one year, and since it takes me around 20 seconds to do it, I don't actually bother about the translated title.

Apologies.
