the strong-arm bullying by popular instances was easily the most annoying thing about the "Lemmy-verse". The auto-defederate list that those instances controlled was an obvious example of power-mad witch-hunting people being in charge. I've even heard once or twice of smaller instances being forced by the popular instances to follow their rules and subscribe to the list if they don't want to be added to the list themselves.

I share your sentiment that Sharkey has been much more relaxed and fun! Only a week after I started using it, I stopped caring if Lemmy Burggit would even come back online. The users are more playful and friendly, and there's none of that circlejerk/hivemind moderation cult over there. it helps a lot that sharkey itself feels much better put together than lemmy does. so with that, I too say goodbye to Lemmy, and hello to Sharkey.

Burggit is dead, long live Burggit!

Burggit has a Sharkey instance at https://dill.burggit.moe. It's sort of "replacing" the Lemmy instance here. the fact that some users here seem unaware of this and instead think that the entirety of Burggit is shutting down, makes me think there should be some prominent banner or pinned post clarifying in the title.

You already have a Pawoo account, so it's the same kind of application as Mastodon, with a timeline of posts. if does have a different UI though.

just the Sharkey instance (dill.burggit.moe) pretty much. I never cared too much that burrgit was specifically a link aggregator like reddit anyway, so this isn't too big of a deal for me. once i got used to the way sharkey works, I actually preferred it anyway.

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.

Since it doesn't have much "character" of its own, it goes well with many kinds of foods while also being generally agreeable to most people's tastes. That's probably the main reason it's so popular.

I don't care for it either, but it's fine if you also add salt

I made !wholesome_hentai@burggit.moe. I was originally going to ask to adopt !wholesomehentai_unofficial@burggit.moe, but I don't want "unofficial" to be part of the name because I don't care about snoosite. It looks like it's dormant though, so you should put it up for adoption.

I also made !2d_pee@burggit.moe before but forgot to mention it here.

(I already posted this, but it looks like it was lost in the site revert.)

Absolutely! Allow me to repeat myself from yesterday. ahem:

It's time to speedrun "repost everything and re-setup new community any% glitchless"! Here's hoping for a PB!

my response:

In the formatting section when making a comment, there's a little emoji button, and the section with the asterisk-looking symbol has our custom emojis

I just get the text "undefined" when I actually try to click on them though, so if that happens for you too, typing out the emoji should work.
