  • I don’t mind a bot but I’d rather get people to post link directly. I don’t know if I want a community to turn into an rss feed.

    Where a bot is helpful is when multiple people are racing to get the same chapter link up on this community. Especially when it’s predictable, like Jump official releases.

    Anyway, I don’t mind building a quick bot that maybe pulls from a whitelist of titles from mangadex. I’d like to get some input from the mods though before I start.




  • Honestly, it’s not just the community, but it’s also what is currently being published and translated. A lot of popular manga, rightly or wrongly, is targeted towards men, and the lewd stuff is popular. The twitter manga that teases and promises more on fanbox, that stuff sells. It’s relatively low-effort and easy to generate revenue. People are interested in that stuff.

    I’m personally alright seeing that stuff, but I’d like to see it more clearly labeled so it can be skipped or filtered. [DISC] with oneshot in it isn’t enough, probably something like short or tweet or something along those lines.
