kbin.social has been totally down for a while. I don’t think your posts are actually federating when you post into a kbin.social magazine right now; the votes you are getting are probably from other lemmy.world users only.

This is my Lemmy alt. I’m about 50/50 between kbin and reddthat these days, but my kbin account is more established. If you’re looking for my older posts, check there.

[…] male-gazey content. I am 2) a woman extremely disinterested in that.
I feel some men might also not want to see content focused on games where a big goal is to romance a man as a woman, presented in a femgazey way or a way tailored to our desires even if not sexualized.
Fair enough. There are a lot of eroge where you play as a women that are absolutely, clearly intended to be played by men though; that part alone isn’t likely to be off-putting, but I can see specific presentation and femgaze heavy works being just as off putting to some guys as malegaze heavy works are to some women. If the audience is mostly straight guys, posting fan art of something like an explicit BL work probably isn’t going to get much positive response, I suppose. :-)
There’s so little content posted regularly in the visualnovels community though that I feel like anyone actively trying to start discussions there on the subject of VNs would likely be welcomed, but I might be wrong about that. The most successful posts I’ve seen are generally notices about sales and some business news with people occasionally posting memes and such as well.
If that doesn’t feel right to you though, I get it, and hopefully reviving the other community works out.
Is the issue that the posts will be frequently inaccessible?
I don’t think your posts are federating out at all when kbin.social is down – basically only people on your own instance can see it, if I understand how federation works correctly. If you check the view of the community from lemmy.world the last post visible is from a month ago, for example – https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]?dataType=Post&sort=New – even though I can see on your instance that you’ve started several threads since then. I can’t even load the community from reddthat since it was probably never requested and kbin.social is down currently; it just errors out.
Does Lemmy have a way to get inactive mods removed and replaced?
I don’t know. Tagging @[email protected] for suggestions since they’ve been trying to grow the Fediverse for a while and may know how to go about it, if it’s possible.
kbin.social’s been down for a while, and having serious problems for months.
There is a general visual novel community at [email protected] which might be a better place to post to. It’s not very active, but I know there are at least a few people around paying attention to it. I might chime in on some threads occasionally if you post there. My tastes are more in line with VNs aimed at the straight-male demographic, but I’m willing to try other VNs beyond that if there is a really good story or novel mechanics or some other non-sexual factor that makes it interesting.
If that community doesn’t fit your needs, I think there is also [email protected] – but it seemed completely dead the last time I looked. You might be able to revive it though if you want to try.
Is this for game consoles only, or would stuff like experimenting with similar looking (low-poly) art techniques on modern computers be acceptable there as well?
That requires turning every read into a write – which is slow/expensive generally. (That might not matter much for Google – who try to record everything you ever do already, basically – but it matters for everyone else.)
Also, it tends to promote spam and offensive niche content. kbin’s got a sidebar that tries to promote random low activity communities and posts, for example, and it’s almost uncanny how much crap it pushes up…
After I finished watching the series, I discovered that there is a movie version of the story that condenses it down to <2 hours. I haven’t watched it, but that might be a more approachable way for modern viewers to digest the story.
I have seen both (a long time ago), and from what I remember the movie was REALLY different – like, almost unrecognizably different. I do not recommend substituting one for the other.

The Japanese text on the bottom of the left image says: Sapporo (Draft) Black Label beer. I can’t tell what the four characters under 生 are though. (Too blurry for me to figure out.)
Edit: those characters might be 非熱処理 – meaning unpasteurized.
mlmym (the “old” interface) stores its front-end specific settings in your browser via cookies and local storage. The way it’s implemented works for the most part and probably makes the front-end simpler, but has some downsides like not retaining your choices between logins. There’s an issue open for this in the bug tracker: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym/issues/104
I’m not sure why it forces a logout periodically even when you’re using it regularly though. (I mean, the cookies are probably not being updated and just expire eventually – but I don’t know if that was a deliberate choice or not.) It might be a good idea to open an issue for this?
