Who the hell downvotes a chart???
Fun fact that many people might not realize is that the up/down votes you make on lemmy are not anonymous. If you pull up a thread on kbin for instance, it will list everybody that has voted on a post. Also, if you are an admin on a lemmy instance that federates with the community, you can see all the votes. I run a test instance of lemmy that is federated with this community that I used for rikka testing. That also allows me to see all the votes. So, after a quick photoshop to protect the innocent, here is what that box looks like (the first page anyway):
Some people just pretty consistently downvote any anime content they see in their all feed. That's fine, they are allowed to do that. I would only step in with bans if I saw a bunch of accounts that likely belonged to one person trying to manipulate votes.
AC definitely has a certain taste. Which is helpful, when I’m looking for, let’s say, what were the popular romance anime of a season.
I don’t remember what other relatively easy to track Top 10’s there are. Does MAL have an easy one to snag? It’d be nice to have a contrasting one to AC.
On Sundays, I post /u/abysswatcherbel's MAL+Anilist and JP Twitter charts that are buried in the comments for the weekly karma chart on /r/anime
I alternate between the charts in the weekly post URL, but the other chart will have a link in the post text body.
I find those to be generally indicative of Western and Japanese popularity, respectively.
Although this season, in particular the JP Twitter chart seems to be skewed by a lot of votes for Blue Archive. I wildly speculate that the game is holding a "follow us and get free loot boxes" promotion or something, because the anime is blech
The others that I know are Anime Trending and then the reddit karma chart. AC releases their list on Friday, the other two are on Sundy iirc. Also, AC is that one I tend to post because they make a nice, clean image of the top 10, which lemmy lets you embed as the post url.
I don’t want to add more work for you, since you’re already doing so much. But, as an idea, is there a way to aggregate those in the weekly “what are you watching posts”? I think that’d be a neat point to get more discussion on how they’re doing and what you’re watching at the same time.
It’s a shame the other two charts you listed don’t make a nice shareable jpg per week.
Konosuba just barely managed to hang on to the top spot this week, but AC's penchant for romance almost got Date a Live to #1. Anybody here watching Unnamed Memory? It jumped up a lot this past week, but nothing about the synopsis or teasers really caught my eye.
Something I noticed this week looking at the full results is that AC doesn't tend to like sports anime:
- Highspeed Etoile - 47th
- Rinkai! - 49th
- Oblivion Battery - 50th
- Ooi! Tonbo - 53rd
- Captain Tsubasa: Junior Youth Arc - 55th
Dungeon Meshi's portrait should've either been Laid screeching at the cockatrice or Stone Marcille

Mushoku on 8th? What the fuck? It's going so good
