Hello urusai.social! I'm socks, a jumbled mess of nerd. I've been meaning to try a smaller instance, and now that I've spent a year in the fediverse I think it's a good time to make that jump. Everyone I've seen in the Sakurajima/Urusai space has been incredibly cool, and these communities have been at the front of my mind the entire time I've been looking for a new server.
I tend to drop into random rabbit holes, drawn in by amazing artists, writers, musicians, and makers. Besides anime I love vTubing (primarilly following Hololive), music, sustainability, and quirky technology, among other things. I'm excited to be here, and I hope I can contribute to the good vibes!
@socks Welcome to urusai.social! Hope you enjoy!
@socks yatta!
Looking forward to your nerd dives on the local feed. One of the things I really like about the smaller servers is that I get a soft-filtered timeline of stuff that interests people who have at least one overlapping interest with me. So it's, like, interest-adjacent? But still plenty of variety on the federated feed.
That is one thing worth noting: the federated feed here is actually possible to follow and browse. You'll find every public post from sakurajima servers in our federated feed, as well as those from the NeoVibe relay (on top of normal federated post rules)
@socks welcome aboard! What’ve you been enjoying lately?
@coffeentacos I wasn't able to see the Holo Justice debuts live (and they've already done A LOT of streaming since) so I've been catching up when I haven't been gushing over fanart. I should be able to catch their upcoming collab with the rest of EN live though!
@socks they’re all so active, it’s tough to keep up with any single one for me haha. I’d thought I might back when the first English ones started but that fell apart quickly. Fanart is always fun!
@socks Welcome!
@socks we have never spoken before in my life
@yassie_j nu phon who dis?
