I haven't watched the original material for any of the sequels here, so it's probably going to be a slower season for me.

Out of the anime I feel comfortable sharing that I'll be watching:

  • Shiro Seijo to Kuro Bokushi (The White Holy Woman and the Black Priest) - Honestly not sure when or how I added this to my list, seems comfy though.

  • Ryza no Atelier: Tokoyami no Joou to Himitsu no Kakurega (Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout The Animation) - Based on the Ryza video games. I tried to play the first entry, but I just couldn't get into it. Hoping an anime adaptation will maybe sell me on the franchise.

  • Uchi no Kaisha no Chiisai Senpai no Hanashi (My Tiny Senpai) - Seems like an inverse to the set-up from Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi (My Senpai is Annoying) from 2021. I liked that, so hopefully I'll like this.

  • Jidou Hanbaiki ni Umarekawatta Ore wa Meikyuu wo Samayou (Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon) - It's been a meme for years, and honestly I kinda just want to see how this turns out, even if there's a high probability of me dropping it after 1 episode.

dunno why but it wasn’t as good as the first two seasons of the main series

I still enjoyed it, but I think the same. In my opinion, this is hugely in part to the lack of the party dynamic, the interactions between our main squad. I'd also say the story was a little weaker, not much of note actually happens.

Last year they got acquired by Branch, an analytics company. Android Police article about it here.

Of course, it’s the hot topic at the moment so it’s understandable

As I said, I get it.

And yes, there is discussion that's nothing to do with Reddit, however Reddit is still an extremely common topic, and I'm just a little concerned that this will become the Reddit trash fire viewing site with incidental other discussion, rather than its own thing. A positive thing to come out of the whole Titan accident is that is gives some other content to talk about at least.

But surely you'd agree viewing Lemmy as a "spite site" is not the way forward, no?

I heard mention of it occasionally, but that was also years after the initial move from Digg, so I can't comment on what it was like first hand during the initial move time.

However, I don't think anyone viewed Reddit as a "spite site" for Digg, Reddit was around for years and was semi-popular before Digg committed suicide. It was simply the natural move.

Lemmy on the other hand has been around for a little bit, since 2019 as far as I can tell, but a rather minimal userbase.

Certainly if we get to the point where Lemmy (and its current userbase at minimum) sticks around for a few more years, it'll likely largely move past the whole Reddit fiasco. But it also needs a large variety of non-reddit-related content to interest users, otherwise this site will likely die before it gets there.

That'd be Sync. It's by the same developer, with the same icon and layout and everything. I think it's just a different app. There's a community for it at [email protected] (assuming I've linked that correctly).

I think a bunch more apps are making it here too, but that was the one I used.

Yeah, I'm so angry about it I'm ready to implode.

I'm uncertain.

I won't be returning to Reddit, but I'm not sure about staying here either currently.

A fair portion of the communities I followed on Reddit were rather niche, so it might be a bit before similar communities pop up here. I'm also not completely sold on the fediverse concept, and there's a strong focus on Reddit hate here rather than actual new content.

On the other hand, I think it has a lot of promise, and the 3rd party app I used for Reddit is also coming here, so I think it has a lot of potential. I just hope Lemmy comes into its own eventually.

Possibly an unpopular opinion, but I don't think Lemmy should be viewed as "spite sites". If the entire focus of the community here is to point and laugh at Reddit's failures, rather than actually provide an adequate site's worth of unique content, people will quickly get tired of it and leave.

Of course, it's the hot topic at the moment so it's understandable, but I hope we'll move away from it at some point.

Finished up TOTK a while ago, playing Xenoblade Chronicles X currently. I plan to get the new Katamari Remake soon too.
