r/Anime_titties is now about actual Anime titties. No more worldpolitics. I would like to see reddit explain removing them as mods. It's even in the title of the sub

So the original Anime_titties was not actually for posting pics of anime titties??
The mod team on r/worldpolitics didn't want to moderate properly and so folks tries to post anime pics and eventually the sub became dedicated to anime.
As part of the joke those folks also made r/anime_titties which ended up becoming the moderated sub to talk about world politics.
I really hope the real anime_titties community comes here, some of the best non-eurocentric news without focusing overmuch on one country or region.
They already have, actually
100 years from now .... Anime Titties is the defacto source for world news
Oh, thank you for this! It was nice having a news source about literally any other country than mine, and I was sad to see one of my few actually useful subs go down the drain
Come to https://kbin.social/m/worldnews too, it has quite a few subscribers but I'm really hoping it gets some more posters as well.
Can you explain how I would subscribe to them on kbin?
As you see there, their "home" address is https://lemmy.world/c/anime_titties/. That gives them a wider fediverse "address" of anime_titties@lemmy.world.
Plug that into the correct format URL on your home site - as a kbin.social user, that would be https://kbin.social/m/anime_titties@lemmy.world - and from there you subscribe as normal.
Thank you for breaking it down the way you did. It’s the first time I’ve been able to build/read the urls/addresses where it actually makes sense to me.
It’s felt like everyone was saying “the bathroom is to the left” to me in Spanish, but I don’t speak Spanish. You just pulled out Google translate for me lol.
No problem!
To complete the explanation then, the only other thing I might add is that if you plug that community into your home site's URL format and it doesn't show up, it might mean you're the first person on kbin,social to notice that community. In that case, plug the fediverse "address" (aaa@bbb.ccc) into the search gizmo by your username at the top right and your instance will sync up with it.
I was subbed there too. It's actually a pretty good news subreddit.
lurker reporting for duty
Amazing! A great piece of history. Glad they are moving to discord and Lemmy now!
Ahhh, just like /r/trees and /r/marijuanaenthusiasts! That’s fun.
And r/JohnCena and r/potatosalad, and similar to r/superbowl (actually about superb owls)
I get john cena and I'm aware of superbowl (which already has two communities here). What's r/potatosalad?
r/JohnCena and r/potatosalad switched places because everyone likes potato salad but nobody loves it, so it became a nickname for Cena and the two subreddits decided to swap.
I really loved the reddit community. I hope they migrated to somewhere decent.
They list lemmy.world instance in the announcement.
And plants. Lots of plant pics.
Nope. It was a sub to talk about geopolitical news. Not a joke. That's actually what the sub was about.
That's one of those little things that I really will miss about reddit. Same deal with /r/trees and /r/marijuanaenthusiasts. Guess which one was for the arborists.
Those guys were always super cool about it on both sides though, lol. People would post questions about actual trees on /r/trees and a horde of friendly stoners would point them towards the other sub. You'd think you were just being fucked with until you actually went there, and lo, dendrology.
I'm going to miss the way reddit was. And I'm sad for what it's become.
Just like my parents
Backing that up from the opposite side of the fence. Questions about actual marijuana would sometimes get joke responses, but they were always light-hearted and they would always have one or several users explain and link them the correct sub. Gone are the days of posting about obtaining "contraband" that turned out to be magnolia seeds, I guess. There's no reason to carry that joke here, as frankly I think it would harm discoverability too much.
