Otome games are video games targeted towards women, where a female protagonist can romance male love interests as a major part of the game.

Why you might recognize this community

I’ve been posting over at !otomegames@kbin.social (at kbin.social), even advertising it here, until someone pointed out they couldn’t see any posts unless they went to https://kbin.run/m/otomegames@kbin.social. I checked and kbin.social has been down for a long while. I deleted the advertisement, made a community on kbin.run (which has been steadily running ever since I joined it about a year ago, and others have let me know they can see my posts), and now here I am advertising the kbin.run version!

!otomegames@kbin.run

Alternate link. For any other Kbin/Mbin users browsing that want to advertise a community, the link I used here is /c/otomegames@kbin.run, not /m/otomegames@kbin.run.

Alright! Not really familiar with the genre, but I put up a post to get you started.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Just in case you mean by “to get you started” that no posts are showing—you might want to check straight at https://kbin.run/m/otomegames. If nobody has subscribed to this community/magazine from your instance before, it’ll either appear totally empty, or it’ll only show a few posts, not sure which, when viewed from your instance, regardless of how many posts the community/magazine has. (If it was subscribed to by at least one person on your instance, and then at some point in time later nobody on your instance subscribes to it, it’ll stop receiving any updates until at least one person subscribes again. The posts from the period when nobody subscribed will be missing.)

Otome games are, primarily, visual novels with a female protagonist or are otherwise meant for female consumption (boys love, etc)

Create post

A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules may be more established as time goes on, but it’s important to have a foundation to work on.

1. Follow the rules of Lemmy.world - These rules are the same as Mastodon.world’s rules, which can be found here.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won’t

You should also include either:

!community@instance.com

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
