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.

By all means post threads that aren’t about new chapter discussions to spur on what you want to see. For right now, due to the small size of this community, there’s not enough people who want to share many posts that aren’t just new chapter announcements. New chapter announcement threads are the easiest and least thinking-involved participation for us.

I really liked the reddit style of just being a mish mash of all, be it new chapters, art, personal notes, etc. However, that sub has millions of subscribers, and even still the actual rate of posts that aren’t new chapters is very low for such a number. Thus, it should be fairly expected that it will be hard to get such engagement here when the community is a tiny fraction. However, that doesn’t mean don’t do it. This post garnered views and comments, so non chapter discussions can totally happen! I think they can be together side by side in a community.
