We’ve gotten over 100 sign-ups since launch, which is a massively good start, especially considering that everyone in the lemmyverse can subscribe to our communities and participate.
Now we need to keep the ball rolling to gain more and more momentum.
Here’s some ideas:
- Go over to !chat@yiffit.net or https://yiffit.net/c/furry@pawb.social and introduce yourself. Your yiffit account gives you access to countless local and remote communities.
- Post your favorite artwork, SFW or NSFW (remember to give attribution)
- Create a new thread about your favorite food, hobbies or projects! Sharing art is only half what this instance has to offer.
- Create your own “subyiffit” / community and moderate it as you see fit. Carve out your own space.
- Help us come up with a name for our yeen mascot.
- Post here from any Mastodon account by simply mentioning it’s name. For example @furry@pawb.social or @chat@yiffit.net
- Tell your friends!
Corporations like reddit are counting on our inaction to keep control, but we have a golden opportunity to create queer, authentic furry platforms, run by furries, for furries.
Let’s go!
Couldn’t agree more, also for the future despite all their problems it would probably be better to set them up on Federated services. Non Federated ones like Tildes seem to have the same problem Reddit has when it comes to Management and infrastructure.
loving it so far :D it’s been more fun than reddit for me because this feels more like being part of something instead of just a big rss feed. that’s what reddit felt like to me and with so many people there are already people who have said what i want to say 20 times over. i hope lemmy keeps the grassroots vibe 💙
I’m glad you like it ^^
Check out furryfediverse.org to join a furry instance. You can join mine which is packmates.org and I promise you’ll get a super furry federated timeline since we only subscribe to furry relays. You can still follow anyone on Mastodon, of course, but I found that as a furry having a furry federated timeline is much more appealing.
Mastodon is similar, but it’s basically the same concept as here: It’s decentralized. Plus there are other types of software like, Friendica, Pleroma, and Misskey which can do the microblog style, but have completely different feels. (But If you’re not into the microblog style then that makes sense why you wouldn’t like it.) Looking at my twitter I have 392 tweets. (I’ve had that account since 2008) On my Misskey instance I run I have 9,509 notes and I’ve been running that for over 3 years now. So I guess it depends on if you just dislike the microblog style or you don’t like the atmosphere on twitter. (or both) But I would suggest shopping around for softwares and for instances before discarding it entirely.
