Hello, Unfortunately I am not able to take care of Yiffit as it deserves. Unfortunately, having been blocked by lemmy.ml, Yiffit is not a good instance to explore the lemmyverse because it is restricted. At the same time, I feel like there's countles off other sites where Yiff can be found in a better way.

I have closed registrations for the time being as I gather feedback and collect my thoughts.

Thank you and apologies.

Lemmy.ml is blocked by most of the rest of Lemmy, and it also doesn't matter if they blocked us because we can still see it (not that you'd want to unless you're an authoritarian communist).

I've been using this instance nearly the entire time I've been on Lemmy and I'm on all the time. Being defederated from .ML has had literally no effect on my experience. Then again, most of the communities and users I have blocked are from Lemmy.ml and Hexbear because the instances are home to MAGAT like people who claim to be communists and generally have nothing to say but vitriol toward LGBTQ+, women and trans people.

I'm not even here for the yiff, specifically. I'm here for the name and the fact it's small and doesn't get laggy or go down all the time like World does. I love it here. I am comfortable here. I'm willing to help with what I can if it means keeping Yiffit alive. Just... I don't have money 😭
