Ask Burggit!

Honestly, I never understood what the sharkey instance was even supposed to be. It looked extremely counter-intuitive to me. No idea what I was even supposed to do there,

To me Sharkey and Lemmy serve wildly different purposes, so I don't think they're really directly comparable.

Regarding the Sharkey instance, there isn't really anything there I want to post and there aren't many people there I want to follow, so it's hard for me to find much of a use for it.

I dont like the sharkey instance, i cant find any user loli posts only bots that post mediocre loli content

I’ve been testing out sharkey and tbh, I don’t like it. I always thought it was gonna be a stopgap before the instance come back up, also I’m not really a fan of the web ui, and it’s been very hard to find a iOS app that is compatible with it because of the confusion mastodon-but-it-isn’t nature of the whole thing

With what is posted, splitting the content up even more isn’t useful, specially coz there’s a lot of empty communities

Tbh, give me a good sharkey app and i migrate instantly, the web interface is bugged and counter intuitive for me for some reason :/ I've blocked 3/4 of lemmy and the most stuff that gets to me is reddit reposts now. Especially the people from .ml and .World instances are mentally disabled its somehow worse than reddit was. (never going back there however)

Even my other like 20 accounts went mostly silent even though i have some more time now...

Hmm... Hard to say. I'd hate to make anyone feel dread to keep this instance running. But I've dreamed for years of a loli-friendly site that functions just like Reddit.

I just signed up for Sharkey, and it's pretty neat. Still feels like I have a lot to learn about it, though, and about federation in general.

I'm open to either one, as long as I'm sure it'll be around for a while. That's probably most important to me...

I just signed up there and I don't really see myself visiting the Sharkey instance nearly as much. At the end of the day I'm just here to see loli pics that people share, and the communities here allow me to separate that from everything I don't care about. I don't know why I'd ever use the Sharkey instance rather than just use Aethy or Baraag, especially since I'm already following users I want to see stuff from on Aethy.

I suppose I should post the Sharkey instance URL while I'm at it: https://dill.burggit.moe

The Sharkey instance and it's not even close. It has about 4 big issues I can think of at the moment, but other than that it's great! I like the playfulness of the interface too, with all the animations and sound effects. it feels fun. I don't know how Sharkey compares to other similar software that's popular like Akkoma though.

I am unfamiliar with sharkey. I value this instance because it is literally the only loli friendly lemmy instance that I know of, and I think there needs to be a space for that on lemmy.

But if sharkey is a better use experience and has better content I could change my mind. Are there open source phone apps for browsing sharkey?

I had never used Sharkey before today. I just created an account on the Sharkey instance and I don't really know how to use it. If I'm correct in assuming Sharkey is similar to Mastodon, I don't know if I'd use it much. I know I don't post or comment very often on Burggit but I've always felt that the "Reddit" style social media sites like Lemmy work better for discussions and it seems like people are more likely to not just see but also respond to your posts.

Ngl I barely use lemmy anymore. It's the same reddit faggotry but powermods have more control. I'm more interested in this other instance.

I do prefer Sharkey but at the same time, I like having a Reddit forum alternative for posts but none of them support loli/shota posting which sucks.

Sharkey for sure after using it for a bit

Please let both. The kbin instance was not much easier to maintain? This instance is the only one who supports loli content(in reddit format I mean). Would be very, but very empty for us who wann draw and share loli art without the risk of banning?

Federation is pretty much broken from Lemmy to Mastodon/Misskey/Pleroma and their respective forks. So all we can get is this watered down content from the Lemmyverse from the few instances that still haven’t figured out our existence, as well as the ensuing defederation that will surely follow once they’ve found out about us. From where the fear came about being discovered by others? Baraag hosts lolies, ALOT (not being a problem, since I support the freedom of speach and art without shity morality for a drawing), andfor that mastodon instance was not a problem being discovered. Are you afraid that someone will report this instance with the fucking reason of hosting UNEXISTING ILLEGAL CONTENT WHICH IS NOT IN FORM OF DRAWING which will nuke every server you manage and eventually you? I can understand very well your feeling.

But againg, my opinion (since you asked us), is to have the both worlds because the burggit is the only instance as reddit, whcih supports the nieche content which others does not have the balls/clit of steel to maintain it. Hat off to you

Honestly I don't really care whether some website works more like Reddit or Twitter. What I mainly liked about Burggit was the focus of privacy and free speech, so I might consider joining the Sharkey instance.

What other instances does it federate with? I like that Burggit didn't censor RQD2, and although the method to post from Mastodon to Lemmy is a bit scuffed if it still works with Sharkey that's honestly fine by me.
