With possumpat.io going offline soon, I figured it’s worth talking about where to move what little content gets posted here. There’s Gundam and Gunpla comms on both world and Blåhaj, but they’re pretty dead with inactive mods. The logical home would seem to be ani.social, but there’s no existing comm there.
I have zero interest in being a mod. Dunno if anyone else wants to give it a whirl, or if there are active comms I missed. The other option is to just be a very small minority in the general anime comms. Which is probably the logical choice, just kind of a bummer since Gundam is very much its own thing at this point. Huge in the grand scheme of things, but there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of overlap with the general Lemmy demographic.
So, thought I would pop back in over here to see if anything had been decided, but it doesn’t look like it. Reading through here, it seems like you are mainly missing somebody willing to moderate. If that is the case, I would be willing to volunteer as a kind of caretaker mod until somebody else wants to take over. My gundam knowledge isn’t very deep, but my community moderating experience is fairly robust at this point.
Let me know! Happy to help out if the community wants it.
Hey, thanks for following up. I think there have been like 4 posts since I tossed this out for discussion, and 3 of them were me lol. I’m not sure that warrants creating a new comm, aside from meta reasons like keeping things from being too centralized, and being thematically appropriate for ani.social.
If you want to make the comm, I’d be more than happy to seed it, crossposting both here (while it lasts) and on world to get eyeballs.
