A little late in the day, but better late than never! Like our "Favorite Frame Friday" events, I think we will do "Meme-able Mondays" once a month. But for now, it's time to share your favorite meme worthy moments from YLDPFG with the community! You can leave panels as is or add your own text to make the moment even better! If you can list the chapter or episode number for folks to reference as well!

Hello Everyone! Our next community poll will be a bracket to determine which of the Manga Art covers is the favorite of the community! Part of the reason for a group bracket is because Reddit Limits polls to six options per poll, so we will need to split up the covers! Over the next ~week we will be releasing the bracket-group polls which will last for 3 days. Once all three groups have a winner, a final poll will be posted to determine which cover comes out on top!

Edit: Adding voting Links

Hey Everyone! First off I wanted to say THANK YOU for joining us in this special little part of the internet! This won't be a regular type of update but I know some folks out there are data driven and like to see a little behind the scenes of growing a subreddit.

After reopening we had our first post which was some amazing fan art! Additionally there was our celebratory character popularity poll, great discussion about our favorite light novel covers, some great analysis of Adachi and Shimamura's relation to codependency and even a few memes! (Shout out to the sweet car paint job in Forza a community member made)

A community cannot be a community without its people, so we are glad you are here and have chosen to spend your precious time hanging out with us (even if it is just an upvote). Thank you so much for joining us! Speaking of community growth, we want to continue to curate content that prompts discussion and participation from the community! If you have ideas about community events or other ways to get folks involved let us know!

Numbers are just a single metric among many that makes a community great; quality of discussion and comradery are equally important and we depend heavily on you the community members to drive those aspects! Questions and discussions are encouraged here and help the community continue to grow so don't be afraid to say hello in a post or even just down below in the comments.

Comments on Metrics

Getting Started

This sub had a head start in building a community in that it already had 7.5K members when the new mod team took over. Our job really is to facilitate discussion and let people know the sub is back open; once that happens we will fade into the background and take care of the administrative work while curating content as needed. To let everyone know we were back an announcement was posted letting folks know new life was being breathed into the sub. That announcement also called for folks to apply to be new mods (teamwork makes the dream work). There were a number of people who applied and if you are one of them we thank you so so much for volunteering your time to create a community of like minded people on the internet. There are three of us now, but as the community grows we may need more support, only time will tell.

Admin Work

Full transparency, there were over 500 pending mod actions when we got into the mod queue. It took a bit of work to get through it all. We sent message to every single person who asked to join the sub while it was closed and let them know it was open for posting. We also took a look at all the reports and pending removals from the past year. A lot of what had been flag belonged to accounts that had already been deleted so that made removal easy. But the reality is that we wanted a clean start so we cleared everything out to make room for the new!

Crossposting

To get the word out there we asked mods from other communities if we could make announcements on their subs too! Thank you especially to the r/yuri_manga folks who responded quickly and positively. Once we got the word out we started crossposting in both directions, we needed content in the sub so people would have a reason to visit us and then crossposting outside the sub to let people know we were active again! That alone saw a huge spike in visitors to the sub (see aug 8).

Community Events

Part of the draw of Reddit vs other websites is the expectation that you will connect with your fellow community members and be able to talk about the things you love. In order to help facilitate those conversations we decided to try a few community events. I already mentioned character popularity poll, but we also had a Meme-able Moments Monday and are now in the middle of the Light Novel Cover Bracket!

The Future

A community is only as good as its members (mods included) and so we will need your help to make this a space that is welcoming for everyone who enjoys AdaShima! We look forward to seeing everything you post and the joy this series brings to you!

Hello Everyone! Our next community poll will be a bracket to determine which of the manga volume covers is the favorite! Part of the reason for a group bracket is because Reddit Limits polls to six options per poll (or at least from what I've found), so we will need to split up the covers! Over the next ~week I will be releasing the group polls which will last for 3 days. Once the two preliminary groups have a winner, a final poll will be posted to determine which cover comes out on top!

• Polling for Group A is open!

What started as a close battle quickly became a sweep for volume 6, which will be moving onto the finals! Don't forget to Vote in Group B!
