I like programming and anime.

I manage the bot /u/mahoro@lemmy.ml

Direct message

Neato, I was wondering when something like this would pop up. Is the lemmy api stable? I quickly looked into something similar with kbin, but I didn’t see an API.

Lots of people here lamenting about this. But the truth is that good code is easy to modify/delete.

Honestly, it’s not just the community, but it’s also what is currently being published and translated. A lot of popular manga, rightly or wrongly, is targeted towards men, and the lewd stuff is popular. The twitter manga that teases and promises more on fanbox, that stuff sells. It’s relatively low-effort and easy to generate revenue. People are interested in that stuff.

I’m personally alright seeing that stuff, but I’d like to see it more clearly labeled so it can be skipped or filtered. [DISC] with oneshot in it isn’t enough, probably something like short or tweet or something along those lines.

I’m okay with the short twitter manga, but I hope they are labeled.

Any specific examples? I never got that impression, but maybe I’m being naive.

I’m getting a timeout for the strawpoll. I don’t really care that much, but I think it’s nice to not use UBP. Variety is the spice of life.

A new community to request new communities instead of using the meta community. How very programmer of you.

I don’t mind a bot but I’d rather get people to post link directly. I don’t know if I want a community to turn into an rss feed.

Where a bot is helpful is when multiple people are racing to get the same chapter link up on this community. Especially when it’s predictable, like Jump official releases.

Anyway, I don’t mind building a quick bot that maybe pulls from a whitelist of titles from mangadex. I’d like to get some input from the mods though before I start.

For our batch workflows, we do have downtime on deploys. It’s by design because 0 downtime doesn’t add any value. Downtime is usually 5 to 10 minutes. For our services, we rely on lambdas or kubernetes rolling deployments so no downtime.
