And there's a pull request for it already. That was quick.

Pretty sure this isn't currently possible. I've created a feature request on kbin's issue tracker for it.

Free software: Software you get for free

Not in this sense. This kind of confusion is why we end up with awkward terms like "Free/Libre Open Source Software".

I've done very little in the way of VNs thus far, but I'll check it out. Thank you. :)

Ah, the spoiler may detract from it. A big part of Higurashi is the "what the fuck is going on here" factor. I started watching it again recently. Too soon to decide if it holds up overall the second time, but it does feel less scary since I already know the overall plot.

The anime also has a trap in that it's not exactly clear initially how the seasons are connected. I initially thought season 1 was a stand-alone story, and was sorely disappointed by the ending until I realized it was continued in season 2. Happened to a friend of mine too, he only watched season 1 a while back, hated the ending, and then I had to harangue him into continuing.

Season 3 on the other hand is just an OVA after-story thing that happens after the main plot has wrapped up. I don't know what's going on with season 4 and 5, as they weren't out yet when I was watching.

EH and grad at least were defederated at some point after I signed up, so that does seem to indicate that Ernest doesn't want those kinds of users/content on here.

I don't think your stance is wrong though, and you should do what you need to do. Kbin wasn't ready for the influx of redditors, and we're seeing the effects of that now. I'm still hopeful that things will get cleaned up eventually, but we'll see.

I thought it was decent. Higurashi is more my speed as far as anime horror goes, though.

Our main problem is that the kbin software doesn't yet support having multiple admins on an instance. Ernest isn't really able to handle both improving the code and doing instance-wide moderation, so the latter is neglected.

Your best bet for now would be a smaller instance with an active admin, though the overall problem will persist until the right features get added to the software.

I had been trying to grow these two:

They were reasonably popular on reddit, 3m+ and 2m+ subscribers respectively. I started posting once per day to each of them soon after I migrated over, though my meme stash has mostly run dry at this point (I do have a bit more to post to anime_irl). There are some regular posters in anime_irl now, but animemes has been pretty dead since I stopped posting. I've also promoted them in the usual places.

There's also my own community, kbin.social/m/specialized_instances / /c/specialized_instances@kbin.social, for cataloging topic/location focused instances. It works fine as a solo project, but I wouldn't mind having more suggestions of things to add to the list.

I won't claim it's as easy as Python, but that's the rough area that Nim is aiming for. Going from dynamically typed to statically typed is always going to be kind of painful, but I've liked the language overall.

Also, we have a Nim community here, if anyone is interested: https://programming.dev/c/nim

Yeah, discoverability isn't great for communities that aren't already popular. BTW, I'm not saying "join this instead", but rather "consider cross-subscribing".
