Anime characters who are partly, or entirely, technological. Or from works featuring sci-fi/cyberpunk/steampunk settings.

Posts must feature "cyber moe". That is, anime characters who are cyborgs, robots, or very obviously from the future. Science fiction, cyberpunk, and even steampunk.
No nudity. Lewd art is fine, but mark it NSFW.
If posting a more suggestive piece, or one with simply a lot of skin, consider still marking it NSFW.
Include a link to the artist in post body, if you can
AI Generated content is not allowed.
Positivity only. No shitting on the art, the artists, or the fans of the art/artist.
Finally, all rules of the parent instance still apply, of course.

SauceNao can be used to effectively reverse search the creator of a piece, if you do not know it.

You may also leave the post body blank or mention @[email protected], in which case the bot will attempt to find and provide the source in a comment.

Are all of these "moe" communities one artist?

No comment on the art, but the proliferation of basically the same content across dozens of communities is irritating. I'm tired of playing whac-a-moe.

No. I include credits in the title, and links in the post body. Community rules require the latter whenever feasible.

I post content that fits on more than one community as cross-posts, meaning it de-duplicates as long as you use a client that supports that.

Though it's not even a dozen long yet, you may use the list in the sidebar as reference for what to block. You claim to have been playing whack-a-moe, but you are commenting on c/cybermoe, one of the early ones, started over half a year ago.

If anime content isn't your deal, maybe block the whole ani.social instance as soon as .world gets around to installing v19.

Each moe community has a slightly different purpose, and they are under no greater obligation to get out of the way of users they aren't for, than any other community on the fediverse.

The beauty of the fediverse is that we all get to curate our own feeds. If you want to be "protected" from the mild inconvenience of manually adjusting what you do and don't see in your feed, consider offloading the problem to a recommendation algorithm by switching to TikTok or Reddit.

I like seeing these moe communities, what does Moe mean though?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

"Moe" refers to the emotional attachment one can feel for fictional characters. It's use is popular in otaku culture.

Unlike the definition you get if you google the word, the character does not need to be female, vulnerable, innocent, or even young. Moe refers to the feeling experienced by the viewer, not a character type.

You might design a character to elicit moe, but there is no single way to do that. Different people are into different types of characters.

In the context of the communities, which are for character art that is nice to look at, it means what it normally means, as described above.
