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 was going to just manually make a post for seasonal episodes as I watch them, but if you want to automate it, why not?

    Just maybe initially limit it to the more popular shows, otherwise I also think it might overwhelm this still small community.

      The trick would be to define the difference between popular/small. Especially early each season when everything is fair game.

        For the still running season, why not just take the top 10 from the /r/anime ranking. Although I agree it’s hard to draw a hard limit, you need to do it somewhere. And if someone misses their favorite show, they can still post a thread themselves.

        I’d wager that next month this community will not be that small anymore, then it could be ramped up.
