  • Dragon Ball was the first manga I read. I still own every volume of the original series and Z that I bought when I was a kid. It probably took me a year or two to collect and save up for each one. I read the series so many times when I was a kid and played every single game of it that I could get my hands on. The anime wasn’t on tv where I grew up so that was the only way for me to experience it. I was absolutely addicted to the series. It’s probably one of the most formative pieces of media in my life and shaped who I am today.

    Introducing friends to Dragon Ball, pretending to be Goku or Vegeta with my friends and not so pretend fighting, reading it on long car journeys, buying Dragon Quest because it looked like Dragon Ball and so many more. Thank you Toriyama for all of those memories.



  • I would say 99.9% of people are still on Reddit. I mainly use Lemmy to get the bigger news stuff and the gaming community is pretty active here too. Also I use Lemmy on mobile only really since the Reddit app is still terrible.

    If I want to read about one of my other interests I’ll go to the specific subreddit on my desktop browser and use old Reddit but with no account since I deleted mine a few months ago. Sometimes I’ll post or comment on one of those smaller communities here but I don’t want to be someone who posts tons of things to a community. Too much work for me.

    Hopefully the user base and engagement will grow over the next few years. Welcome to being an early adopter!
