Here is a post on the anime community about it. Basically, there is a bit of a backlash against Mappa by others in the industry right now for setting timelines way too aggressively, forcing tons of overtime on the animators.
This isn’t even a recent problem, Mappa has doing this shit for ages. Taking on way too many projects at once putting way too much pressure on staff for not enough pay. The anime industry is brutal on their staff, and Mappa is probably the worst.
Yes, this is a panel from that same series, much later on. I will reiterate what I said in that thread that the series is great and worth checking out for the genius absurdity that is contained within.
CommunityLinkFixerBot replied to my first comment here, but (1) bot messages do not federate to kbin (I checked the post on ani.social manually to make sure it showed up the way I expected and saw an extra comment counted; if I hadn't done that I'd have never seen the message), and (2) I linked with the exclamation_mark-community-atsign-domain syntax as it recommended so I'm not sure what's going wrong or how to fix it. Maybe there's kbin/lemmy interoperability weirdness in how my post was conveyed?
I don't think kbin and lemmy support mutual direct messages, so at-ing you on this post since I'm not sure how else to get in contact with you to see what's going on with the bot.
There are lots of weird kbin/lemmy interaction quirks. For the community linking, you need to include the instance as well. So if you wanted to link the community this post is in (using lemmy syntax) it would be written as !animemes@ani.social (note that you don’t need to include linking markdown, it will automatically be parsed as a link) even if you are on ani.social.
As for bot accounts not federating, that is especially frustrating for the !episode_discussion community since it means that kbin users just see a vast desert of a community that contains zero posts.
That's exactly how I wrote the community links in my original post on kbin though. i.e. the literal text I posted for the first sentence is: I was introduced to the boykisser/girlkisser meme over in !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone recently, and today the power of memes compelled me to make this. I think something is not getting translated correctly when sending the message from kbin to lemmy. Maybe kbin is converting it to a link first and then sending that to lemmy instead of the literal text of my comment?
Related to linking, is there a syntax for instance-relative post linking? (Or even just a good recommendation for how to link threads without driving people insane?)
Yeah, it must be a kbin/lemmy translation issue then. I think you are right in that kbin is parsing it as a link, and then lemmy is writing that out with link markdown. So, it seems as though the syntax just won’t work for kbin users (at least you won’t get notifications from the bot each time you do it since you are on kbin).
I wish there was a way to link to things in an instance-agnostic way, but unfortunately that is not possible yet (open github issue).
