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
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.
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…
The domain expired for a few hours yesterday due to a now-solved account balance issue with the proxy used to register the domain on behalf of burggit staff.
You were seeing a parked domain page during that time.
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.
The only instance we defederate is Meta’s threads.net, and we intend to not defederate any other instances, barring any illegal imagery that comes across our feed.
I’m not 100% certain that this is how to do it, but for Lemmy instances, I believe you should be able to trigger a federation with your desired community by searching @communityname and following that account. Since to the fediverse, the threadiverse just shows up as individual accounts for each community.
