Ask Burggit!

Ever had a question you wanted to ask? Get an opinion on something?

Well, here's the place to do it! Ask the community pretty much anything.

Well, maybe not even everybody here would agree if I said "Burggit needs more users" but I feel like it's turned into kind of a ghost town. You can see right in the sidebar we're sitting at 100 users a week. I certainly wish there were more people here. Especially if you hide NSFW, there's only a few posts a day and almost all of them have 0-2 comments. That sucks because I think this is cool as more than just "the loli lemmy". (Even though that's good too).

Of course, Lemmy quickly fractured into mass defederation and basically every instance is pretty atomized now, even the "big" instances. I don't think we get a lot of people checking out from other instances. I would bet with the way modern Google works, nobody is coming here from a google search either lol.

So, is there anything that's fun to link to Burggit on other sites that you guys have been sharing? I sometimes link people here from Reddit if they're looking for real incest stuff, since I always was bothered about how Reddit has an unwritten rule that it's banned but never says so explicitly, and there's posts at least once a week from people looking for it who often get told that if it's not on Reddit it must not exist. More importantly, I think the same is true for some SFW topics.

Of course, the front page is full of loli and people are kinda hostile to that these days. I just wish we could get 1% of the people who used to subscribe to all the loli themed subreddits (including SFW/memes) that were banned in the unofficial big loli purge, that would be enough to make it lively here lol.

I feel like a better way is to use kbin more. Like you said, at least we're able to reach out to other instances with similar tastes. With Lemmy, you're only locked in to the threadiverse or whatever it's called.

I only used kbin for a day or two when Reddit announced their API changes, so I'm not very familiar with it.

Can you explain why it's easier to reach out on kbin than on Lemmy?

[–] SomeRandomAccount@burggit.moe 3 points 11 months ago

Kbin can federate with more software than lemmy, so there are more places to reach out to. Lemmy can pretty much only federate with other lemmy instances (or at the very least, it's not very good at federating with non-lemmy instances). Based on what I've heard, kbin should also provide a better experince when federating with mastodon, pleroma, etc. since its UI's more suited to it, but I haven't used it for more than a few minutes.
