Since this community takes heavy inspiration on what the r/manga sub was doing, why not take one of the best parts?

In case anyone is wondering what that is, I’m referring to this kind of threat: https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/14p1m5o/what_manga_have_you_read_this_week_and_what_do/

Also I did do one of this 3 days ago in case someone doesn’t want to see the reddit, although reddit paints a better example of what I wish it was.

I feel the community would greatly benefit if the mods were the ones that did the post and it was a pinned message that changed every week.

Reasoning is that unless pinned, the post just looses relevancy quick, a lot of people will miss it and also and very importantly, people that come see if they want to join can look at a post where people interact through an entire week and were some interesting conversations and suggestions are born instead of only seeing chapter releases that gather 1 or 2 comments at most since not everyone is keeping up with this many series (especially considering how small the community is right now)

Just in case, I’m not criticizing chapter release discussion, I think they are great as they keep the community with constant new content. It’s just that with the small current size of this community, most of them are not interacted with and people unfamiliar to what these posts try to accomplish will not really get the best impression of the community if every post is almost empty (case in point, the guy like 5 or 6 days ago asking what the purpose of the community is), it’s just the curse that comes with small size for this kind of format.

    I’d love this. And if you guys do this I might actually record what I read, as well as my impressions, across the week. Just to comment in that thread. (Warning: it’s 90% isekai. Often really, really shitty ones, Alcafus tier.)

      Jaja same, I treat it as a blog for my own posts, but I do only one per week. But I do read it constantly to have conversations that don’t merit their own posts or to find recommendations.
