Where do you plan to go once Burggit shuts down?

I already get most of my lolisho content from Baraag, and I mainly use e621 and Twitter to look for yiff, besides occasionally browsing Pixiv as well. For the pregnancy/birth content that I like there’s still Pregchan and the Preggophilia forum. I also have an NSFW Reddit alt, but I barely use it since they don’t allow most of the content that I like.

It was nice having a reddit-like website to share and compile the stuff that I like even if some communities weren’t very active, so it’s a shame that Burggit has to go. I don’t think I’ll be creating new accounts on any fediverse servers since none of them follow the same principle of allowing free thought and expression.

Are there any other websites you plan on joining after Burggit is gone? Or are you just sticking to other accounts you already have?

I’m on Pawoo but that place is weird. Open to suggestions.

What’s this shark thing people are on about?

Burggit has a Sharkey instance at 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.

mens,

How do I use sharkey for more than gooning? The layout of the site is a bit questionable. The content I browse, takes only like 6th of screen, and I can see only one image or post at a time. Even if it’s a text post, I see only part of it.

I liked lemmy for promotion of discussion. New law or new turn in tech? Lemmy’s great place for that. Some topics don’t get discussed outside of places like burggit, so I’m hoping the discussion could happen on Sharkey.

I signed up yesterday for imouto.pics, but it’s now down. Then I remember that burggit has its own sharkey instance.

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.

I’m not really sure, I have a few ideas but nothing that is a direct alternative to Burggit. There are two things I use Burggit for and that’s to view loli hentai and to occasionally talk about hentai games. There are a few websites I know of for viewing loli hentai but for talking about games, the only website I currently know of is F95zone and I have an account there but outside of using it to download games, I’ve only ever commented once and I’ve never made an actual post there before. I’m sure that F95zone would be fine, I’d just have to get used to how different the platform is.

f95zone disallows certain types of loli - see Rule 7. I think lewdcorner and allthefallen are somewhat less strict on this.

I have read F95zone’s rules and I have seen people complain about how vague rule 7 is. While I have been using ATFBooru for a while now, I’ve never had an account there and this is the first time I’m hearing about lewdcorner. I’ll check them out.

I still have genuinely no idea.

Swore myself off reddit after ther API fiasco and removal of .compact mode, but i’m not aware of other general-focus reddit-alternatives that don’t act worse than reddit in some aspect.

nofrefan,

Most of the alternatives seem to be very hard to get into. Baraag wants a sample of your own artwork for an account, but I’m not an artist. Most others, like shota.house, need an invite and then still need a justification, and I have no idea what to even write there…

Dang, Baraag has closed applications to non-artists again? I guess I can understand it since they get ~3M visits/month which is far more than Burggit ever did, but it’s still a shame.

You can still create an account on another instance that federates with Baraag like pawoo.net or mstdn.jp, and you’ll be able to follow artists on Baraag from there. Looking at its about/rules section bae.st seems to be a more free-speech oriented instance that also federates with the lolisho side of Mastodon and doesn’t have these sign-up restrictions.

if you’re considering microblog instances like baraag and shota.house, what’s wrong with burggit’s sharkey instance? Do you not like Sharkey specifically? You can follow baraag creators from there if that’s what you wanted to do on baraag.

Okay, to be be quite honest, I’m just completely baffled by this sharkey thing. By now I don’t even know how to find it anymore. I saw it for a while while the lemmy instance was down, and I never got what it even is, what it does. Nobody ever explained it to, it was just like “here’s a sharkey instance”, as if that’s a thing that everybody knows what it is, when I have never before or since then even heard that word outside of burggit.moe.

I think it has something to to with mastodon, but even then, the details or how it offers anything beyond mastodon are completely fuzzy to me.

basically that place IS pretty similar to mastodon. it’s just a different fediverse micro-blogging application.

if you’re familiar with mastodon, there’s a UI mode that’s similar to mastodon. After making an account, on the left bar, click on “more” then “switch UI” then select “classic”. that makes Sharkey look a bit more like mastodon. If you have any trouble after that, I’m @diff over there. I’m still learning some things myself, but I got all the basics down.

diff,

@diff not sure if the users in this thread can see this (I don't know how the federation between lemmy and sharkey works) but this is me posting from my sharkey account

This is visible from the lemmy instance at burggit.moe.

nofrefan,

Okay, I just learned that it is a completely, utterly different experience. To be honest, I just never even tried to make one, because from what you can see at the outset, it doesn’t look like there’d be a point…

yeah the logged out page was a bit blank when I joined. I didn’t really know what it would look like until I made one.

mens,

Baraag is microblogging while lemmy and reddit do entirely different thing. But if you just want to goon, you can browse most of baraag’s content from another instance. You just need to check your instance has wanted federations.
