dies. ::: spoiler Q: Why is this needed? A: TL;DR: We have had to start over a
lot due to instances dying. 1. First, otome on Lemmy/Mbin started with Kbin
[https://lemmy.world/post/253520], at
[email protected], which went down
when kbin.social had federation issues and eventually went down. 2. Then we
moved [https://lemmy.world/post/17750743] to
[email protected], which went
down when kbin.run unexpectedly vanished. 3. So we moved again

[email protected]], where we can hopefully stay. If not, we jump to… 4.

on-topic: post about otome games. Otome games are romance games aimed at women
who want to romance men. For the purposes of this community, games with female
love interests (LIs) count as long as it isn’t mostly female LIs: men should be
at least half of the LI options. Note that you do not have to be a straight
woman to post: people outside the target demographic play too, and you are
welcome here. Amare games will be allowed given how small the community on the
Fediverse is for it, and how they overlap with otome, but if the community
starts to overwhelmingly have non-otome amare posts I reserve the right to
change this rule and redirect those posts to a new amare community. 2. In an
effort to keep this community more discussion-based, please only post fanart and
the like if you made the art yourself. Your own fanart, cosplays, etc. are very
welcome. 3. Don’t be a jerk. 3a. No bigotry or discrimination. This includes but
is not limited to homophobia, racism, sexism, etc. 3b. Be respectful of other
peoples’ tastes. You may absolutely despise an LI and want to discuss it, and
that’s fine. Casting negative aspersions on or directly insulting people who
love that LI is not fine. What we find interesting in fiction does not always
directly translate to real-life desires. 4. Please don’t directly link to
pirated content. 5. Tag any NSFW content as such. If you are not sure whether to
tag it that way, err on the side of caution and tag. 6. Please indicate
spoilers. The following format works on both Lemmy and Kbin, but if you are
using an app it may not. See this comment [https://lemmy.world/comment/11514952]
for which apps handle spoilers. Note that spoilers in post bodies will just show
the text in the preview if you link the post in, say, Discord, instead of
spoiling it. ::: spoiler Spoilers for OtomeGame: The Game Something that
happened at the end of the game! Something else that happened at the end of the
game! ::: That will appear as: ::: spoiler Spoilers for OtomeGame: The Game
Something that happened at the end of the game! Something else that happened at
the end of the game! ::: 7. When promoting an otome you have worked on, please
use common sense for what is spammy. If there’s about four new posts here
weekly, don’t post a progress update weekly—we don’t want self-promotion
overwhelming the community. But we do want to inform people of new otome and dev
updates are cool, so do post them here every once in awhile! I reserve the right
to change this rule to be more specific about what exactly counts as spammy and
what does not, but I feel I’ll know it when I see it and trust most posters to
operate in good faith. # Not Rules Magazine/community icon from My Next Life as
