Altchan Infographic Anonymous 04/17/25 (Thu) 02:20:31 No. 144551 [Last50 Posts] >>144555 >>144556 >>144566 >>144568 >>144586 >>144715 >>148528
A few months ago I was talking about altchans on /a/ and realized a big stumbling block for people is that the lists of sites that get posted around contain too many sites with not enough details and people tend to give up after the fifth or sixth utterly dead/meme shitposting site they click through. I'm hitting myself for being lazy and not making a better guide before this, but with 4chan still down I imagine it would still be good to have something easy to pass around to help the flood of refugees as we approach the weekend.

>>144551 Good post.
Would be neat to see this layout applied to more altchans with perhaps a short writeup on each one's focus.

smug's /a/ still feels a bit slow to be green, if we're considering 4chan to be 10, but I'll accept it. they've definitely benefited from 4chan dying during the start of the new season

>>144562 I meant it as "4chan's default style" for people who want to feel back home. I was just stupid and forgot to actually check what options the old UI had.
>>144566 As far as I can tell it's for Urusai only so it's not what someone looking for "anime discussion" is going to want. I don't think I saw any manga threads on the other anime boards, but it does make sense that's where they technically go.
>>144567 >It feeds into the "it's too slow, I'm not going to post there" vicious circle. It is a really important factor. Hearing "this site has a /v/ board" then going there and finding the last post was three weeks ago is what really turns people off altchans. I will grant that the coloring could be better since some people genuinely prefer smaller communities. I also don't like marking some things like not having user-boards as red when I think that's a good thing, I just couldn't think of a better color and making everything white is
boring .
Maybe reversing it and doing a speedometer reaching for blazing fast gaymer red could work. Would need better gradients to look good though.
>>144584 Only like two people on the planet understand how to do this wizardry and it has no impact on the day-to-day posting here, but I guess you can revel in your technical superiority.

Kohl is a weird case since the English part of the site is just one board, but it was a pretty active part so it might fit in there.

There's an autistic part of my brain that wants to go even more granular and cover every board topic and every filetype, but that would probably need a website with a database instead of an image of a spreadsheet.
And, yeah, I think most everyone has found their temporary homes at this point and we'll have to wait until 4chan either comes back or admits defeat for things to stabilize and we can recheck what the landscape looks like after everyone has decided where to settle.
