This seems like a weirdly unnecessary way to not quite manage to duplicate what lemmy has been designed to do.

How do I make it just work with just my original account?

You go to the community list for your instance and do a search on the URL of the community you’re interested in. Then (assuming that your instance is federated with the other one) your instance will create its own mirror of the community, and you’re done.

That panel with their hair blowing back made me lol.

When I read the thread title, that’s what I instantly thought of. I was about the same age and it was about the same situation, and I had the same reaction. And still do.

None or about a dozen, depending on how you want to look at it.

I have about a dozen accounts on various instances, and four or five that I use regularly, but they’re not really “alts” since they’re all the same name - Rottcodd. Unless someone checked the @s and compared them, they likely wouldn’t even realize they’re not all the same account.

I started out doing it that way because when I first moved here, I just signed up for whatever instances looked appealing for whatever reason, just to try them out, and figured I’d settle on one later. I kept doing it that way because I discovered some advantages.

Each instance actually feels a bit different, since they have different moderation policies, different sets of federated vs. defederated instances, and different sets of communities that members have subscribed to, so different Alls. And I’ve emphasized that by having different subscribed and blocked lists on different instances.

So if I want to wade through chaos and maybe do some shitposting, I have an account for that. If I want to read or post about gaming or technology or popular media, I have an account for that. If I want to read or post about the arts, literature, society, philosophy and the like, I have an account for that. And if I just want to see comfy, pleasant stuff like cat pictures and recipes, I have an account for that.

Ah… that was worth waiting for.

Just ran across this one and thought it was pretty good.

And it’s especially notable for being just light and fluffy and amusing, since the mangaka’s other works are… not. At all. Even the tiniest bit.

And this surprisingly awesome manga continues to defy expectations.

I was expecting more about the other members, and specifically Rei, since she’s gotten enough focus to be recognizable. I was not expecting fujoshi though - not even for a second.

And another person with expectations for Ri-chan to defy…

Yeah - look at the face she’s making at the top left.

There’s a lot of dere under her tsun.

I think we can safely assume that we’re going to be seeing a lot more of those two women at the community center - they’re too detailed to be throwaway characters. And I’m looking forward to it - Ri-chan with an ara-ara onee-chan and a little, sharp-eyed tsundere should be good.

Those last two panels were subtle but nicely done. It took me a minute, and a bit of zooming, to figure them out.

I’m pretty sure they’re meant to illustrate Ri-chan’s perception of the world changing - going from dark and simple and vague to light and complex and detailed, as she figuratively comes out of the dark and into the light.

I suspect a lot of us can relate. I know I can.

That was quite the info-dump.

I was sort of curious what was going to happen to this. Early on, it looked like the overarching plot line was going to be the search for Aki’s dad and the question of whether or not she’d be able to kill him if they found him and he was a kairi. But then they did and he was and she did and that was that.

So then… what next?

And I guess we just found out. Sort of. Though I have no idea where it’s headed next, other than, apparently, winter.

Yep - glasses guy did it, and that’s a lot of what this has all been about. I was pretty sure of that.

So has Chiaki manipulated Kouhei into this road trip for her purposes? Or is it something that Kouhei unconsciously did for her benefit? He does apparently have suppressed memories of her, so it’s possible he’s effectively tricked himself into helping her.

Odd twist that it’s even the same car. I’m not sure what to make of that.

I guess if you want to just sort of vaguely gesture toward things that were very obviously the point and focus of the novels, and things that they do better than the vast majority of books, and instead lament the nominal failure to expand on side issues that aren’t even relevant to anything else, then you’re free to do so. I really don’t see the point though.

To me, it’s as if you’re looking at Van Gogh’s Starry Night and saying, “Well yeah, the colors and texture and movement and composition are all great and all, but I’m just disappointed that there aren’t any people in Victorian dress in it. And not even one madonna and child!”

I didn’t expect that. At least not so soon.

It’s a good sign though - I take it to mean that it’s going to focus on real issues of building a relationship rather than the typical manga bullshit of not even communicating in the first place.

And I’m looking forward to the next brain cell board meeting.

I love the brain cell board meetings.

This manga just impresses the hell out of me.

It was already good when it was self-published, but all we really saw then were scenes between Urumin and Kimiya at and after concerts. But then when it got serialized, instead of just redoing the existing chapters, the mangaka took the opportunity to basically start all over and flesh it out, and it’s so much better.

It’s especially neat that we’ve learned why and how it is that the rest of the group tolerates her clumsiness. And it’s made it so that instead of Kimiya being inexplicably obsessed with this idol with no apparent redeeming qualities, it’s Kimiya recognizing, just as her friends, fellow idols and family do, how adorable she really is underneath that awkward exterior.

Good stuff.

Even the mandrakes mock him.
