That is most unfortunate. It doesn't inspire a lot of confidence that this was done without any elaboration or warning. Without a reversal, if we want to keep automated discussion posts, there are a couple options I see. Either posts are made by a local account on lemmy.ml, discussions are moved to a different community/instance, or ultimately automated posts could go away.
This is the most active lemmy anime community, with the next most active belonging to hexbear.net which is a polarizing instance to say the least. Beyond those, it is a steep drop in activity. The anime community on lemmy.world for instance most recently had a post 20 days ago (beehaw's anime & manga community is a bit better at 5 days ago). All this is to say it would be a steep ask to get the community that has essentially consolidated to lemmy.ml to move elsewhere. I hope it gets resolved soon.
This is actually a big fear of mine. The content on !anime@lemmy.ml is nearly identical to the content found on ani.social. If you compare the new queues you can see for yourself just how much crosspost activity there is.
If it's a content problem, then we have a content problem too. It's an uncomfortable position to be in with this much uncertainty
If you can get the mod of anime@lemmy.ml to cross promote, then it should not be too bad to move the episode discussion to a different instance, since lemmy users can join both communities and get posts from both. It won't be flawless or without difficulties to make such a move, but I think people will go out of convenience.
This is clearly causing pretty fundamental problems to infrastructure this community's reliant on. Cross-promotion would be fine, imo. We just need to know what the users want of the community.
