I was wondering whether this community focuses on discussing and recommending manga, or mostly on "manga announce" instead, from the majority of the posts I'm seeing. The sidebar doesn't give much information.

NB: just in case I'm being misread, this is not a criticism! Just trying to understand whether I'm interested in subscribing or not.

No worries! We are trying to be one of the (if not the) most active community in the Fediverse about manga. Right now we are not that many, sadly, so that's why right now we only are mimicking what we did on Reddit. I am sure that when more people will join it will start being way more interesting and full of discussions. 🥰

Yes this is the community with most subscribers I've found so far. I'm interested in a community where manga are discussed, recommended, and so on. At the moment the vast majority of the posts here ("[DISC]" – does that stand for Discord?) seems to be about announcements of new chapters, and I wonder if they're taking over a bit too much. Maybe it's possible to create a community specifically for announcements? Or any other solutions? – Only if other members share my point of view as well, of course.

DISC stands for discussion, it should be used to talk about the chapter (usually recently released) that has been just posted. You could obviously intend it as a new chapter announcement but the meaning is, as stated, to discuss about that specific chapter.

I see, thank you for the explanation! Then it makes sense :)

I could be wrong but I thought “DISC” stands for “discussion”. So those threads are for discussing a specific chapter
