Pretty much, yeah. Buried by marketing and mostly kept that way by it dominating conversations.

Been occasionally posting creative commons music and some fully free games to try to be the change I want to see.

Technically it may be, in terms of library.

However there are a few alternatives to look into that, while not matching the scale of their library, still have enough to consider.

For older anime there's Retrocrush, which offers a fair amount of shows to watch for free (but with ads), no account required. Some are only accessible with an account and via subscription, however.

Interestingly though, some of those shows are available on other services no subscription required, like Tubi or Pluto.

Speaking of, it turns out Crunchyroll apparently cut a deal with Pluto, so there's a Crunchyroll channel on there where you can catch some of their anime freely (again, with ads though). Besides that there's also a separate anime channel and a few dedicated marathon channels to more popular series like Naruto, One Piece, Sailor Moon, etc.

There's also lower amounts still to be found on the other general streaming services like Netflix or Hulu, but it obviously doesn't fully compare.

Also while not newer and their library is way smaller, for some anime movies you might see if your local libraries offer digital services like Hoopla or Kanopy. With those you may be able to check out some great anime movies.

Your ignorance means it was shiny and new to you, and that's okay!

Aah, that may explain it! I thought it might be best to check logged out for a better sense of how search worked, so was searching logged out.

I checked on a different up to date instance (lemm.ee) knowing that, and confirmed it was federated with the relevant community, but didn't see those results.

Strangely enough I can't replicate similar results searching lemmy.ml either, so not sure what's going on. 🤔

Thanks!

Regarding community search, sorry for the lack of clarity. I dropped a clear example when revising, I was referring to searching for a community by the form "videos@\sopuli.xyz", note the missing ! from the start.

Maybe that's more of an edge case?

More like reply to posts without regard for its host community. In other words, context collapse where the community is the main context.

Oh! I mistook it as a continuation of the general store example, as I haven't been to a physical IKEA store (there aren't any all that nearby).

Today I'm learning many little things! (Some stuff going on so between here and watching Attenborough documentaries.)

Do they give snack-sized bags to put shopping into?

Because small.

Standard sized writing utensils, if I had been prompted to.

I phrased it to read as a joke at a glance, but it's genuine! I've never gotten into any form of golf.

The future of the web may be relearning the browser (and other tools)

Hell yeah.

Interesting vibe somewhere between, "you sure you wanna do that bub?" and "I don't know what the fuck you are so I'm gonna slink away now"

OP is scorpions

If I have it was so long ago I completely forgot, or may have been too young to remember.

The tricky part is, the group-supporting fediverse software and the microblogging software need to improve how they interact for this to be as good as it could be.

Right now Mastodon barely supports group users/actors/accounts, however they're called, translating stuff from Lemmy's format in a rather clunky way. Meanwhile Lemmy also has to roughly translate Mastodon's format to its own, working pretty well all things considering, but leaving clear artifacts (subject line/first line repeating, community mention remaining shown, etc.).

Unfortunately so far as I can tell there doesn't appear to be one that meets your criteria.

One of the few I found with recent posts is itself narrowed down to digital accessibility:

The only other I found is on an instance (Beehaw) that doesn't connect to Lemmy World, so our posts wouldn't be visible to them.

Even in a country where a culture of overwork permeates a wide range of businesses, the anime industry is notorious for the grueling hours that workers put in. Animators in their early 20s earn less than 2 million yen ($12,948) a year, according to industry data, compared with over 3 million yen for a person of a similar age living in Tokyo. That’s less than half of what US entry-level animators earn, websites like Glassdoor show. Creative workers also complain of late and uncertain payments.

Some, though, sense change is afoot. A working group for the United Nations Human Rights Council last year called out Japan’s anime industry for its poor treatment of workers, along with cases of sexual violence and harassment in the country’s entertainment business. In a May report, the group referred to “excessively long working hours” and low pay, as well as a disregard for creative workers’ intellectual property rights.

Talk about frustrating to infuriating. They need to unionize like hell, and if the government is genuinely looking at addressing this, this would be a good time to do so. A government aiming to save face may be more amenable to unionization efforts than at other times.

Honestly pleasantly surprised to see encouraging worker activism towards the end of the article as well.

I haven't noticed any major issues with it in my usage, so...Maybe not? Could always give it a try and if it doesn't seem to work well, no worries switching back to your other launcher.
